The Witcher season 3 may be about to hit our screens, but it seems we’ll be spending a whole lot more time on the Continent. The fantasy show has reportedly been renewed for season 5 already, according to its casting director.
Speaking to Deadline, Sophie Holland gave an update on their filming process, as she teased: "We’re just about to start filming on season four with Liam Hemsworth and there will be a short gap then we go straight into season five."
Some might be surprised that the streamer has already put its confidence in a fifth season of the show, especially given the very mixed reaction to news of Cavill’s exit. But it does make sense that Netflix wants to give Hemsworth a fighting chance as the new White Wolf with a fair stretch of episodes to make his mark.
And let’s not forget that The Witcher remains one of Netflix’s biggest ongoing shows. The first season remains one of their most-watched shows of all time, and the second season was not far behind either. That’s not even to mention the spin-offs that it’s already spawned with The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf and The Witcher: Blood Origin.
