Netflix's The Witcher returns for its penultimate season this week, and with it, it's bringing a needed break from the streamer's frustrating habit.

The Witcher season 4 arrives on Netflix in less than 24 hours, so unless you've booked the day off work, there's literally no way of rewatching the previous three chapters before episode 1 drops. If you're in need of a memory jog, though, the streamer has come to the rescue with a beautifully illustrated recap.

The Witcher showrunner has addressed the backlash to the Netflix show, and why it won’t make the same Game of Thrones mistake.

We don’t officially know the reason for Cavill’s departure, but this one seems most likely. On Saturday, October 29, 2022, Cavill announced that he would be stepping down as Geralt of Rivia after The Witcher Season 3. Instead, Liam Hemsworth would be taking up the swords of the White Wolf.

Henry Cavill, who headlined the series, has been replaced. He brought Geralt of Rivia to life across the initial three seasons but devastated viewers when he made the tough choice to exit the production and has been succeeded by Liam Hemsworth, reports the Mirror.

Viewers are curious to know whether Netflix has renewed or canceled The Witcher Season 5. The latest season picked up from the shocking events of Season 3, featuring the return of Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri.

As we prepare for the penultimate season of Netflix’s The Witcher, we can reveal the episode titles and run times of all 8 instalments. Turns out, season 4 is the shortest season yet, continuing the trend of each season being shorter than the last.

Netflix’s The Witcher is heading toward its final quest with Seasons 4 and 5. This will be the end of Geralt’s journey — and with Liam Hemsworth taking over the role from Henry Cavill, it’s bound to feel like a new era for the Continent. Season 4 will be released on October 30, 2025.
