‘The Witcher’ season 5 promises a thrilling finale to the epic saga; here’s what to expect

Netflix’s hit fantasy series The Witcher is preparing to close its storybook after years of monster hunting, magic, and moral chaos.

The hit fantasy series has been renewed for a fifth and final season, confirming that Geralt of Rivia’s story isn’t over yet. 

It will take one more chapter to bring the show to its end. The announcement was first shared on the show’s official X (Formerly Twitter) account in April 2024.

Originally premiering in 2019, The Witcher entertained fans with its gritty world inspired by Andrzej Sapkowski’s bestselling novels.

Following Henry Cavill’s exit after season 3, Liam Hemsworth stepped into the role of Geralt, making his debut in season 4.

Netflix confirmed in 2024 that seasons 4 and 5 were filmed back-to-back, with the final installment set to adapt the last three books in the saga, Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow, and Lady of the Lake.

Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich described the ending as an ‘epic’ and ‘satisfying conclusion’ to the story in a statement, as per The Hollywood Reporter.

Furthermore, Liam Hemsworth, Anya Chalotra (Yennefer), Freya Allan (Ciri), Joey Batey (Jaskier), and Laurence Fishburne (Regis) are all expected to reprise their roles.

While no release date has been announced, The Witcher Season 5 is anticipated to drop in late 2026.
