Netflix’s live-action adaptation is also heading into its fifth and final season, now expected in 2027 after a supposed delay.

Then there’s the author’s next Witcher novel, which Sapkowski has confirmed is already underway and is targeting for completion in 2027.

He has also told IGN in a recent interview that he is considering writing even more short stories, and suggested that there is still plenty of room to explore Geralt’s formative years following Crossroads of Ravens.
