Netflix’s hit fantasy series The Witcher has been renewed for a fifth season, but fans will have to bid farewell to the show as it will be the final season of the series. The announcement came as a surprise to many as the fourth season has just started production.
The fifth season will be shot back-to-back with the fourth season, and both seasons will cover the events of the last three books in Andrzej Sapkowski’s beloved novels. The show has been praised for its faithfulness to the source material, with some inspiration taken from the popular game adaptations.
In a shocking twist, Liam Hemsworth will be taking over the lead role of Geralt of Rivia from Henry Cavill in the upcoming season. Fans can expect to see Geralt finding a new family in the Hanza, a group of mercenaries that he joins forces with in the new season.
Joining the cast for the fourth season are acclaimed actors Laurence Fishburne, Sharlto Copley, and James Purefoy, adding even more star power to the already impressive lineup.
