Will there be The Witcher Season 5?
The Witcher season 5 is confirmed. Netflix renewed the show for season 4 and season 5 together and season 5 is planned as the last chapter for this version of the story
Season 4 and season 5 were filmed back to back. Filming for season 5 is already finished and the team is working on editing and visual effects now. So season 5 is not just planned on paper it already exists in filmed form
The creators have said season 5 will complete the main book saga for Geralt Yennefer and Ciri. The idea is to give a clear ending instead of stretching the show for more seasons
Expected Release Window
There is no exact release date for The Witcher season 5 at the moment. But most reports and industry guesses put it in late 2026 on Netflix
The Witcher uses a lot of complex visual effects. Past seasons needed many months of post production after filming. Because season 5 wrapped in 2025 a late 2026 date feels realistic and fits the usual time gap
Season 4 is set around late 2025. If Netflix keeps a similar rhythm there will likely be about one year to one and a half years between the two seasons. So fans can treat 2026 as the year of the final season even if the exact month is not fixed yet.
Story Direction in Season 5
Season 4 sets up a big war across the Continent and pushes Geralt Yennefer and Ciri onto separate paths
Season 5 will follow the later books from the Witcher saga and move toward the endgame
Geralt is now a knight and leads a group while trying to reach Ciri. Yennefer is building power in the world of magic and politics and trying to stop dangerous mages
Ciri is in serious danger and has to survive on her own before any chance of reunion
Season 5 will keep these three threads but the goal is simple. Bring them back together and resolve the war the prophecy and Ciri’s fate
The final episodes should close the main arcs for the three leads even if not every side character gets a full send off.
Cast and characters
Liam Hemsworth continues as Geralt in both season 4 and season 5. Henry Cavill already left the show after season 3 so season 5 is fully built around the new Geralt
Anya Chalotra as Yennefer and Freya Allan as Ciri are expected to remain central. The final season will also bring back key allies and enemies from earlier seasons
Viewers can expect returning mages royal figures monster hunters and new faces pulled from the later books.
Will there be season 6?
Right now season 5 is planned as the final season of this main Witcher series. There is no confirmed season 6
Netflix might still explore spin off shows prequels or movies set in the same world in the future. But for this story line Geralt Yennefer and Ciri are getting a five season run that ends with season 5.
