Work is underway on the script for the fifth season of Netflix's "The Witcher" series

The script for the fifth season of Netflix's The Witcher series is currently being worked on, which is expected to be the final season, sources tell Redanian Intelligence. It was originally planned that the filming of the fourth and fifth seasons would take place directly after each other, but due to the strike of the Screen Actors Guild and the Writers Guild of the United States, the situation has changed.

The fourth season is scheduled to shoot in March 2024 and will run until around October, according to RI. However, it remains unknown if the writers will be able to finalize the script for season five by then.

In season four, the role of Geralt will be played by Liam Hemsworth, who replaces Henry Cavill, who played the main character in the first three seasons. Cavill's departure from the project is explained by his decision to leave the project due to tedious filming, according to one of the directors.

In November 2023, "The Witcher" author Andrzej Sapkowski said that while working on the series from Netflix, "no one listened to him."
