Embark on an enchanting journey as we delve into the mesmerizing world of The Witcher Season 4. This comprehensive guide transcends the ordinary, promising an immersive exploration that will captivate both seasoned Witcher aficionados and those venturing into the series for the first time.
The Witcher Season 4 Release Date
The popular fantasy show on Netflix got the green light for a new season in October 2022, but with a surprising change in the lead actor. People are searching for the latest news about when will Witcher Season 4 come out. Unfortunately, there’s no news yet on when The Witcher Season 4 will be released.
Good news for fans, though—talks about filming for Season 4 started in May 2023. The casting director, Sophie Holland, confirmed this and mentioned that they would begin with Liam Hemsworth. However, May became quite eventful due to the writers’ strike in May and the actors’ strike in July. Despite these challenges, the plan was to move on to Season 5 right after Season 4.
The Witcher Season 4 Delayed?
Originally, it seemed like The Witcher wouldn’t be affected much by the strikes because it mainly involved UK actors under the Equity union, not the US-based SAG-AFTRA. Season 4 was already written before the strikes started.
However, there were rumors that The Witcher’s Season 4 production got delayed until 2024, possibly due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The exact reasons are unclear.
On July 13, Equity issued guidance following SAG-AFTRA’s strike, but it’s good news that the writers’ strike has ended after 148 days. The WGA and AMPTP reached a tentative agreement for a new three-year contract for writers.
While AMPTP is still in talks, there’s hope for a resolution soon. As for The Witcher, fans need to be patient and wait for updates on how much Season 4 might be delayed.
The Witcher Season 4 Cast
In The Witcher Season 4, most of the main characters will be back, like Ciri, Yennefer, and Jaskier. Expect to see Fringilla, Cahir, Francesca, Triss, Dara, Istredd, Sabrina Glevissig, Vilgefortz, Stregobor, Dijkstra, Phillipa, Emhyr, Radovid, Milva, and The Rats—Giselher, Mistle, Kayleigh, Iskra, Reef, and Asse.
There’s a new character, Regis, with rumors of a “major” Hollywood actor taking the role of the vampire-barber. Sadly, some characters won’t return due to events in Season 3, like Tissaia, Lydia, Filavandrel, Artorius, Gallatin, and Rience.
How Will Geralt Be Recast as Liam Hemsworth?
Henry Cavill’s last appearance as Geralt of Rivia has aired, and next time, Liam Hemsworth will play the character. There’s talk about a possible multiverse, but producers have given conflicting hints. One producer suggested multiple worlds, while another said it’s the same person with changes in their story.
The executive producer, Tomek Bagiński, mentioned a potential multiverse but contradicted another producer. Bagiński has seen Hemsworth in the Geralt look and says he looks “awesome.” Hemsworth has been getting ready for the role but hasn’t met the cast in person.
Joey Batey (Jaskier) and Anya Chalotra (Yennefer) have communicated with Hemsworth through email. They’ve exchanged quotes from the books, and Batey mentioned Hemsworth’s intense training and dedication to understanding the books. Hemsworth is diving into the role, and the cast is looking forward to working together.
The Witcher Season 4 Plot
Season 4 of The Witcher doesn’t spill its secrets on the plot just yet, but we have some hints. The Season 3 finale left loose ends, especially with Ciri joining The Rats. This could tie into a potential spin-off.
Following the books, Season 4 might dive into Baptism of Fire. Without major spoilers, it involves Geralt in a new conflict, while Ciri finds her place with The Rats. Freya Allan, who plays Ciri, hints at more action for her character.
Geralt and Yennefer’s mission is clear: find and protect Ciri. Yennefer will also deal with the aftermath of the Aretuza bloodbath and losing her mentor Tissaia.
In Redania, Prince Radovid is now King Radovid, possibly bad news for Jaskier. Vilgefortz and Emhyr think they’ve brought Ciri home, but she looks different. The excitement is building for how these stories will unfold in Season 4.
