While rumors of a potential fifth season had been circulating since January, this is the first time an official source has confirmed it.
Holland revealed that production for the fourth season is set to commence soon, with Liam Hemsworth taking over the role of Geralt of Rivia from Henry Cavill.

With Netflix’s history of canceling shows abruptly, fans were understandably concerned about the future of the series. However, it seems their worries can be put to rest, as the show’s longevity appears assured.
While the exact number of seasons The Witcher will ultimately have remains uncertain, fans can take solace in the fact that there is no end in sight just yet.
