The Witcher Season 5 Delayed to 2027, Report Says
Netflix's The Witcher season 5 has been pushed to a 2027 release, according to an August report from What's On Netflix.
Netflix's The Witcher season 5 is now slated for a 2027 release, according to an August report from What's On Netflix. The streaming service has not announced a new date.
Seasons 4 and 5 were produced and filmed back-to-back, according to a report from Screen Rant. Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich said last year that the writers treated seasons 4 and 5 as one large story, telling it across 16 cohesive narrative episodes.
The delay follows a difficult reception for season 4, which drew some of the show's worst critical reviews, and a portion of viewers turned on the series after Geralt was recast. Henry Cavill stepped away in 2022, with Liam Hemsworth taking over the role.
Since 2019, Netflix has adapted Andrzej Sapkowski's book series into live-action and animated series. On the game side, CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 4 is planned to kick off a new trilogy with Ciri as the primary protagonist, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered was recently released.
