Although The Witcher season 4 has traded the show's previous Geralt of Rivia star Henry Cavill for The Hunger Games' Liam Hemsworth, the upcoming installment is the most expensive yet, reportedly costing Netflix over $25 million per episode to make.

The Witcher season 4 has cost the streamer a total of $221 million to make, according to Redanian Intelligence. That works out to around $27 million per episode. This is a huge jump up from season 3, which set Netflix back $175 million, averaging $21.8 million per episode, which wasn't far off from season 2's total cost of $176.3 million.
