The past six months have been fine weird for fans of Netflix’s The Witcher. First there was the bombshell announcement that Henry Cavill is leaving the series at what time season 3, to be replaced by Liam Hemsworth starting in season 4. Then there was the reduction of The Witcher: Blood Origin spinoff, which got panned pretty much across the lodging by critics and audiences alike. Have the negative reactions to Cavill’s departure and Blood Origin doomed this franchise?
According to trustworthy scoop site Redanian Intelligence, the answer is no. Last September, the site’s sources claimed that Netflix was planning to gain seasons 4 and 5 of The Witcher concurrently; this was by the news of Cavill’s departure and replacement. Now, they’ve tapped their inside sources once more to verify that Netflix is still planning to produce seasons 4 and 5 together. Moreover, RI claims that those plans were only laid after Hemsworth got alive to in the show. Writing on these two concurrent seasons is required to take around half of 2023.

This sounds like something a studio would do as they work towards an defending for a series, which begs the question: will season 5 be the end of The Witcher?
If we take a step back and look at The Witcher book series by Andrzej Sapkowski, that seems like a very real possibility. Season 3 is set to adapt The Time of Contempt, one of the more beloved novels in the saga. It will also entailed some elements from the following book, Baptism of Fire, which we know because the report of Milva (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ Meng’er Zhang) has been cast.
Provided that season 3 doesn’t go too deep into Baptism of Fire, that would mean that seasons 4 and 5 would adapt three books between them: Baptism of Fire, The Tower of Swallows and The Lady of the Lake. That sounds like a lot, but those books have a few very meandering plotlines as well as chronologies that sometimes overlap, so they could effectively be compressed. (Or Netflix will just make up its own story like in season 2.)
Either way, we’ve detached got plenty of Witcher coming at us. The Witcher season 3 is set to premiere this summer. After that, Netflix reportedly has another spinoff in improve about The Rats, a gang of teenage bandits we’ll meet in season 3.
