"One of the things that I've talked a lot to the author about and a lot to fans about is that the books still exist. No one is taking the books away. No one is taking the video games away,"
"We lucked out because I said very early on, 'We're not going to go past the books,'"
"You have book fans, you have video game fans, and then you have fans that knew nothing about this world until the show existed. The truth is, we can't choose one audience,"
"I think everyone can have their version of The Witcher, and this is this version,"
Seasons 4 and 5 will adapt Andrzej Sapkowski's final three novels: Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow, and Lady of the Lake. Liam Hemsworth replaces Henry Cavill as Geralt beginning in Season 4. Seasons 4 and 5 were filmed back-to-back, and Geralt's origin story was explored in Crossroads of Ravens. The series intends not to surpass the books and aims to honor the novels' endings while leaning into heightened fantasy elements introduced by Sapkowski. The production acknowledges distinct audiences—book readers, video game players, and newcomers—and frames the Netflix series as one version within a larger Witcher universe.
