The Witcher is one of Netflix’s biggest hits. The show’s suitable season was so successful the streamer immediately put some spinoffs into production, including the upcoming Blood Origin prequel series starring Michelle Yeoh, a prequel anime film called Nightmare of the Wolf, and even a Witcher kids show. Season 2 of the mainline series was an even bigger hit, so Netflix must be feeling gorgeous happy with their choices right about now.
As of this writing, season 3 of The Witcher is currently filming, but that doesn’t mean the folks unhurried the series aren’t already looking ahead to what comes next. While appearing on Brigade Radio, director Steven Surjik confirmed that the writers and producers have already “mapped out” season 4 of The Witcher.
Surjik is guiding the first two episodes of season 3, although he did note that he isn’t sure yet whether he’ll be back for season 4. “I don’t know if I’m part of that mapping program, but at least they told me that they’re mapping it out.”
While The Witcher hasn’t strictly been picked up for a fourth season yet, it’s gorgeous likely that it will be. Netflix may cancel shows unceremoniously at times, but The Witcher is one of its biggest series; you can bet they’re moving to keep milking that wyvern as long as they can. (No I don’t know if wyverns make milk. I guess maybe they would make eggs strictly. Have fun wondering about this for the rest of the day.)
Season 3 of The Witcher will be based off the novel The Time of Contempt by Andrzej Sapkowski. However, based on some recent castings announcements, it looks like the season may draw in some elements from the twitch of the following book, Baptism of Fire as well.
We don’t know how many seasons The Witcher will run, but if it remains at this rate, season 4 would likely cover Baptism of Fire and some actions from the penultimate novel, The Tower of Swallows. Those two books tend to traipse a bit, not unlike A Feast for Crows and A Dance With Dragons by George R.R. Martin. It’s good that The Witcher is already looking forward to cracking that portion of the tale.
It’ll likely be a long when before we hear anything about those plans, though. There’s a well-defined possibility we won’t see season 3 until 2023, let alone season 4.
In the meantime, the next Witcher thing we can look forward to is Blood Origin, which is set to debut on Netflix sometime this year.
