URGENT UPDATE: Fans of The Witcher franchise have exciting news! The highly anticipated Season 4, along with the spin-off movie The Rats, is confirmed to premiere on October 30, 2025, exclusively on Netflix. This announcement comes after earlier reports suggested that the spin-off was canceled following its troubled production in South Africa.

Latest details reveal that The Rats was set to focus on characters introduced in Season 3. Although initial reports described the project as a “disaster,” insiders are now hinting at its potential revival alongside Season 4. The buzz around the spin-off intensified after an anonymous insider claimed it was “worse than Blood Origin,” leading to speculation about its future.

As of now, there is little information about the movie’s plot. However, it is expected to serve as a prequel, expanding the rich lore of the The Witcher universe. The excitement is palpable, especially with Liam Hemsworth stepping into the role of Geralt, replacing Henry Cavill after his departure from the series.

The show’s showrunner, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, confirmed in an interview with SFX Magazine earlier this year that while the live-action series will conclude after Season 5, the story of The Witcher will continue to evolve. “We made a conscious decision to end the live-action show after season five, where the books ended. But it doesn’t mean that all Witcher storytelling has to be done,” she stated, hinting at further expansions of this captivating universe.

With Season 4 and The Rats on the horizon, fans are eager to see how these developments will unfold. The clock is ticking down to an exciting new chapter in the world of The Witcher. Stay tuned for updates as more information emerges!
