The Witcher season 4: After seven months and over 130 work days, production for The Witcher Season 4 has officially wrapped up, marking the end of an era and the beginning of another as Liam Hemsworth takes up the role of Geralt of Rivia, replacing Henry Cavill. Filming kicked off in April 2023, with the cast and crew diving into an intense shooting schedule across the United Kingdom. Fans got a first glimpse of Hemsworth on set alongside series regulars Freya Allan, Anya Chalotra, and newcomer Laurence Fishburne, who will portray the character Regis.
Much of the filming took place at Longcross Studios, the series’ main production hub, but the team didn’t shy away from venturing into the scenic outdoors. Notable locations included the historic Waverley Abbey, which served as the backdrop for a refugee camp scene that will resonate with fans of Andrzej Sapkowski’s original novels. Book readers will recognize Waverley as the setting for the horseshoe scene involving Fishburne’s Regis, promising an iconic moment for die-hard fans of the book series.
Another standout location was the picturesque landscapes of Wales, where the production team staged an intricate scene of Geralt’s Hansa navigating a barge on a river. This scene sets the stage for an epic moment—the Battle of the Bridge from Baptism of Fire, a highly anticipated sequence directed by Jeremy Webb, who helmed the final block of filming. These carefully chosen locations are bound to enhance the upcoming season’s visual storytelling.
The Witcher Season 4 Release Date
As production on Season 4 concludes, preparations for the fifth and final season are already in motion. According to Hemsworth, the final season’s script is complete and scheduled to begin filming in early 2024. If the post-production timeline follows a similar pattern to previous seasons, fans could expect Season 4 to hit screens by late summer or fall of 2025, with Season 5 likely wrapping up the series the following year.
Fans can also look forward to additional Witcher content, with Sapkowski’s new Witcher novel slated for a Winter 2024/2025 release, and The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep anime adaptation set to premiere in February 2025. With these exciting projects in the works, The Witcher universe continues to expand, offering fans plenty to anticipate as they await the next chapter.
