The Witcher season 5 could slip to 2027: it’s no longer in Netflix’s 2026 promo

Several outlets are now saying Netflix’s The Witcher season 5 may have slipped out of 2026 and into 2027. What’s on Netflix reports that the final season no longer appears in Netflix’s public 2026 promotional materials. Netflix still hasn’t confirmed a new date, so for now, 2027 should be treated as a reported window, not an official one.

Reports from outlets that cover the series also say seasons 4 and 5 were filmed back to back and wrapped in September 2025. That makes this look less like a filming problem and more like a post-production or scheduling delay. That matters because season 5 is supposed to wrap up the main Geralt story during the war.

If you’ve been keeping up with The Witcher, this news lands in a pretty shaky moment for the show. Season 4 reportedly had trouble with both critics and audiences, including a 59% Rotten Tomatoes critic score and a 19% Rotten Tomatoes audience score. Some viewers also said the lore had become hard to follow, and Liam Hemsworth replacing Henry Cavill is still a divisive change among fans.

The longer gap also adds pressure to the spin-offs, including The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep and The Rats: A Witcher Tale, especially after The Witcher: Blood Origin was poorly received.

Whenever it arrives, season 5 will be on Netflix.
