After a long and anticipated wait, Geralt and his companions are set to make their triumphant return to Netflix. However, season 4 of the renowned series—adapted from Andrzej Sapkowski’s fantasy novels—will introduce some significant changes, including the recasting of the central character, Geralt of Rivia.

The dramatic conclusion of season 3 left viewers astounded as Geralt and his allies confronted formidable foes like never before. Fans can expect season 4 to deliver an exhilarating blend of intense drama, monsters, thrilling swordplay, and intricate political machinations.

Here’s everything you need to know about the latest chapter in The Witcher saga.

Release Date for The Witcher Season 4

Mark your calendars! The fourth season of The Witcher is scheduled for premiere on Netflix on Thursday, October 30, 2025. Viewers can look forward to eight exciting episodes.

Netflix officially confirmed season 4 back in October 2022, with filming slated to commence in May 2023. However, production faced delays due to strikes by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA.

Filming finally resumed on April 18, 2024, with the creators sharing a glimpse of the cast during their first table read, stirring excitement among fans.

Cast for Season 4

Season 4 marks a significant transition in casting for The Witcher series. Notably, Henry Cavill will step away from his role as Geralt, with Liam Hemsworth stepping in to portray the titular character.

This casting change came as a shock to many viewers, particularly since Cavill was a strong advocate for the role from the beginning. While neither Netflix nor Cavill has disclosed the reasons behind this shift, it is rumored he departed due to concerns regarding the series’ creative direction.

Season 4 Plot Overview

The forthcoming season will adapt themes from Sapkowski’s novel Baptism of Fire, the third book in the Witcher saga. As always, it’s uncertain which specific elements from the novel will be included as the show has a history of diverging from the source material.

In Baptism of Fire, a group is assembled to search for Ciri, who has gone missing following the Thanedd Coup. Geralt, alongside Jaskier and the skilled archer Milva, traverses the war-torn continent where they encounter Zoltan, Cahir, and the enigmatic Emiel Regis. It seems this core storyline will remain intact within the adaptation.

Meanwhile, Ciri joins a group known as the Rats—young bandits engaged in plundering. During her adventure with them, she adopts a new identity, Falka, which allows her darker nature to manifest—she also finds a new romantic interest. According to showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, the arcs of Ciri and Geralt will intertwine prominently in the series.

In season 4, Yennefer will take on the challenge of stepping into the shoes of her late mentor and mother figure, Tissaia, as she assumes a leadership role at Aretuza. As Hissrich notes, this will force Yennefer to grapple with significant decisions about her place in the magical society, as the Brotherhood has been dismantled.

With her mentor gone, how will Yennefer choose to lead? And what does she aspire to be within the magic community? This will push her character into complex territories.

If Yennefer indeed claims leadership, this will mark a notable deviation from her storyline in the books, as she instead becomes embroiled in a conspiracy led by Philippa Eilhart to safeguard the interests of sorceresses in the wake of the Coup.
