Netflix has just renewed 'The Witcher' for its final season — and that’s a good thing

Freya Allan plays Ciri in The Witcher season 2.

After the news that Henry Cavill was no longer starring in “The Witcher”, it was only a matter of time before the series took a turn for the worse. Now, that huge casting change has led to season 5 being its last outing, meaning that Geralt’s story will come to an end. Despite this being sad news for “The Witcher” fans, it’s actually a good thing for wrapping up every character in a satisfactory way. 

Back in October 2022, it was announced that Cavill was stepping out of his role, and Liam Hemsworth was taking his place as the titular character, Geralt. This left many fans upset due to Cavill’s perfect depiction of the legendary monster hunter. Hemsworth will assume the mantle in seasons 4 and 5 while starring alongside returning faces like Freya Allan as Ciri and Anya Chalotra as Yennefer.
