As a die-hard fan of The Witcher since its inception, I must say that the news about Season 4 potentially wrapping up production has left me ecstatic! Freya Allan’s emotional post on Instagram, complete with heartwarming sketches of her co-stars, seems to confirm that we are one step closer to witnessing Ciri’s journey continue.
It seems that production for Season 4 of Netflix’s “The Witcher” might have concluded, as suggested by Freya Allan in an emotional social media post. Freya plays Ciri, the last known member of Cintra’s royal family who was mentored by Geralt of Rivia, previously portrayed by Henry Cavill and now by Liam Hemsworth to become a Witcher. Despite facing significant casting challenges, it appears that they have successfully navigated through them, possibly wrapping up filming for the fourth season of this widely enjoyed fantasy series.
Allan posted sketches of her fellow actors on Instagram, which may signal that the actress has completed filming for Season 4. The drawings feature her co-stars from “Rats.” In the final episode of Season 3, Ciri left the Frying Pan desert and joined a band of youthful outlaws. Allan wrote, ““Mistle, Iskra, Giselher, Reef, Kayleigh, Asse. I adore you all. Thank you for an extraordinary season of [The Witcher],”” indicating her appreciation for the unique Season 3 experience.
In the fourth season, Allan reappears alongside recurring co-stars Joey Batey (Jaskier) and Anya Chalotra (Yennefer of Vengerberg). Liam Hemsworth steps into the role of Geralt of Rivia, replacing Henry Cavill who parted ways from the show due to creative disagreements. Although the exact reasons for Cavill’s departure are not disclosed, it is speculated that he chose to leave due to creative differences. Another prominent actor is set to join The Witcher for its concluding episodes. Laurence Fishburne will make his way to The Continent as Regis, a formidable Higher Vampire who becomes an integral member of Geralt’s team during their quest for Ciri. It is anticipated that The Witcher Season 4 will be released around mid-2025.
The Rats Spin-Off Has Been Canceled at Netflix
If the storyline of Netflix’s ‘The Witcher’ continues along the lines of the last books in Andrzej Sapkowski’s series, it can be expected that The Rats will play a significant role in Season 4. This band of outcasts helps shape Ciri’s character as she navigates her way through the world following the destruction of her city by Nilfgaard. Despite their substantial screen time in the upcoming season, they were initially intended to star in their own spin-off series…before Netflix decided not to proceed with that project.
The universe of Netflix’s hit show, “The Witcher,” has faced challenges with its spin-offs. The prequel, “Blood Origins,” received negative feedback from both viewers and critics, eventually leading to its cancellation after just one season. On the other hand, “The Rats” didn’t even make it to our screens before Netflix decided to halt production. As of now, specific reasons for cancelling “The Rats” have not been disclosed. However, rumors suggest that high-ups at Netflix pulled the plug on the series following their review of early episodes, specifically the first one.
In terms of spin-offs from the popular series ‘The Witcher’, it’s only ‘Nightmare of the Wolf’ that has seen some moderate success, specifically in its animated universe. ‘Nightmare of the Wolf’, a notable achievement for the franchise, is set decades prior to the original show and delves into the destruction of Kaer Morhan (the Witcher’s keep) as experienced by Geralt’s mentor Vesemir, voiced by Theo James. Another animated spin-off titled ‘The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep’ is on the horizon. This upcoming production will elaborate upon one of Sapkowski’s short stories, “A Little Sacrifice”, transforming it into an animated feature film. You can catch ‘Sirens of the Deep’ streaming on Netflix starting February 11, 2025.
