It will answer the question everyone has had since Season 4 dropped which is very simple. Where is this story heading and how are they going to tie up everything?Season 5 is also the season that finally ends the main story. So, what do we know for sure at this moment? A lot more than you think.Let's get on with it.The Witcher Season 5 and how Netflix has already made up its mind about the endingThe Witcher Season 5 is not a maybe. It is already shot. Netflix did not wait to see the numbers it garnered from Season 4. They filmed Season 4 and The Witcher Season 5 one after the other so the team could end it cleanly and avoid any gaps. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThis tells us that Netflix wanted to close this Witcher chapter properly. So right now, the show is in post-production.The sad part is that Netflix has not commented on a release date for the fifth and final season. They are keeping the release date hidden but most of the signs point toward 2026. Another thing to note is that Liam Hemsworth will continue playing Geralt through Season 5 since Season 4 was meant to be his entry point and the character won't be swapped out again.The Witcher Season 5 and what it is trying to adapt from the booksThe Witcher Season 5 will adapt the last bits of the original novels. Netflix has already confirmed that they planned it out a long time ago. They will finish the parts from Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow and Lady of the Lake.However, the difficult part is that nobody knows exactly how they will adapt it because Season 4 of the show has already made many changes to the story. Fans actually complained about this more than anything. So, predicting the exact plot for Season 5 at present would not be ideal.The only thing we know is that all of Geralt's loose ends need to be tied up, and hopefully they will be. Ciri cannot keep running and being hunted. Yennefer needs to face choices that will define her.Another important thing to know is the cast. Freya Allan is still Ciri. Anya Chalotra is still Yennefer. Joey Batey is still Jaskier and the new characters who joined Season 4 will continue their stories as well.Season 5 is a season of closure and we're all here to see how it all finally wraps itself up.The Witcher Season 5 is the closing door moment. It is the point in a story where everyone knows goodbye is coming. For now, we only know that Season 5 has been completed and now awaits post-production magic.The release would most likely happen sometime in 2026.Stay tuned to SoapCentral for more updates.
