Part 7/10:
Adding to the intrigue, Sophie Holland, Netflix's casting director for The Witcher, confirmed that filming for Season 4 is imminent, with a brief gap before production for Season 5 begins. This raises questions about the show's production plans—speculation suggests that the upcoming seasons may be divided into parts or long seasons filmed together to mitigate risks associated with the show’s decline. The extraordinary decision to announce a Season 5 renewal pre-emptively indicates that the showrunners are wary of the show's viability and are trying to lock in as much content as possible before potential cancellation.
