Since the first season launched in 2019, The Witcher universe has continued to grow. An animated movie, a live-action prequel series starring Michelle Yeoh, a second season, and now a third season has already been introduced. Liam Hemsworth will take over as lead of the series in season 4 and the franchise shows no signs of slowing down. The show has already been renewed for a fifth season.

“My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4,” Cavill said on his exit. The Witcher is based on the tales and books written by Andrzej Sapkowski. Lauren Schmidt Hissrich has created and produced the show with Sean Daniel Company and Platige Image.
