'The Witcher' Season 4 Begins Production In The U.K.; Netflix Announces Fifth And Final Season Of 'The Witcher'

[Outsiders]

Netflix has officially begun production of The Witcher Season 4 and has given greenlit Season 5 of The Witcher, which will film back-to-back with Season 4 and will be the final chapter in Geralt's story. Seasons 4 and 5 will adapt the remaining of Sapkowski's books, Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow, and Lady of the Lake, promising to offer an epic and satisfying conclusion to Netflix's hit fantasy drama.

After the shocking, Continent-altering events that close out season three, the new season follows Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri who are faced with traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons apart from each other. If they can embrace and lead the groups of misfits they find themselves in, they have a chance of surviving the baptism of fire and finding one another again.

Lauren Schmidt Hissrich says: "It is with huge pride that we begin shooting our penultimate Season of The Witcher with a stellar cast, including some exciting new additions, led by Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia. We're thrilled to be able to bring Andrzej Sapkowski's books to an epic and satisfying conclusion. It wouldn't be our show if we didn't push our family of characters to their absolute limit - stay tuned to see how the story ends."

Is anyone particularly excited about this?  I know I'll wind up watching it, but I feel like Cavill leaving really deflated the balloon.

Outside of the awesome very first episode, this series has been pretty mediocre. I'll probably still watch when it comes out though.
