‘The Witcher’ Season 4 Release Schedule, Explained

As a longtime fan of The Witcher, it’s strange to think the fourth season is finally here. It’s been a difficult journey getting to this point, to say the least. Showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich confidently predicts viewers will quickly accept Liam Hemsworth as the new Geralt, replacing Henry Cavill. However, the negative reaction to the Season 4 trailer shows that many fans disagree. Netflix has put more money into this season than any previous one, making it a significant gamble to keep the show popular. This is just a glimpse of the conversations surrounding The Witcher Season 4.

Despite some initial concerns, the first episode is expected to be very popular on Netflix. Even those who were skeptical are likely to watch, and loyal fans are excited about what Netflix has promised. Following major changes to the show, The Witcher is making a few more adjustments, including changes to when new episodes will be released. Here’s everything you need to know about the release schedule for Season 4 of this popular Netflix series.

‘The Witcher’ Season 4 Release Schedule


Netflix

The first two seasons of The Witcher were all released at the same time, but season three was split into two parts. Now, season four will go back to the original format – all episodes will be available at once! This means fans can watch the entire season – a total of 427 minutes, making it the shortest season yet – in one go, likely over a weekend. This approach aims to maximize viewership, as most shows and movies on Netflix get the most viewers within the first week of release, though K-pop Demon Hunters is an exception.

Season 4 will have all eight episodes available to stream starting October 30th at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time / 3:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The show tells one continuous story across seasons, so if you’re new to it, October 30th is a good time to start. While there’s a new actor playing Geralt, the story picks up right where Season 3 left off, meaning the first three seasons are crucial to understanding everything. You’ll also be happy to hear that familiar faces like Anya Chalotra (Yennefer), Freya Allan (Ciri), and Joey Batey (Jaskier) are all returning, and their characters’ histories are built upon from previous seasons.

What Happens Beyond Season 4 of ‘The Witcher’

Despite the changes in lead actors – with Henry Cavill leaving and Liam Hemsworth taking over – Season 5 of The Witcher is definitely happening. According to the fansite Redanian Intelligence, filming for the final season wrapped up in September 2025. This means longtime fans can still expect a conclusion to the story, even if Season 4 isn’t a big hit on Netflix. Plus, Netflix plans to continue exploring The Witcher universe with projects like the animated film The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep and possible spin-off series.

Fans of The Witcher can expect more content from the series for a long time to come. Right now, all eight episodes of Season 4 will be released on Netflix on October 30th.
