The fifth and final season of Netflix\u2019s\u00a0The Witcher\u00a0is its final months of production with not long left to go. While we still don\u2019t know the release date of Season 4, we continuously learn new things about the two final seasons in which Liam Hemsworth will make his debut as Geralt of Rivia replacing Henry Cavill. Today we have evidence about the largest battle in the saga.<\/p>\n

The Battle of Brenna may be in Season 5 after all<\/p>\n

The Battle of Brenna is the largest and one of the most significant battles in Andrzej Sapkowski\u2019s books, but for the Netflix\u2019s show\u2019s inconvenience, it doesn\u2019t feature any lead characters. Instead, it\u2019s told from the point of view of supporting characters like Jarre and Shani. For that reason, the battle\u2019s inclusion in the show was under doubt. But it might be included in some for after all.<\/p>\n

For some time we\u2019ve been hearing about extras and stuntmen being cast for The Witcher Season 5 under the names like \u201cTemerian soldier<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cVrihedd brigade<\/strong> soldier\u201d and so on. Both Temerians and the Vrihedd brigade of Nilfgaard were among participants in the Battle of Brenna, so that makes it sound like there could be scenes of the battle. Vrihedd in the books was led by Isengrim, but we don\u2019t know if he\u2019s been cast in the series.<\/p>\n

Moreover, we\u2019ve already announced<\/a> that Emily-Jo Young<\/strong> has been cast as Shani<\/strong> in The Witcher Season 5. In the battle, Shani is among the medics and her POV illustrates the horrors of war inside the medical tent.<\/p>\n

Those soldiers and Shani pieced together, makes for a case that we\u2019ll see the Battle of Brenna in The Witcher after all, in some form. <\/p>\n

Plus, Coen<\/strong> is back for Season 4 in an unrelated original adventure involving Lambert and Vesemir with Geralt. Could Coen be back for Season 5 as well? We do know Yarpen Zigrin<\/strong> and Zoltan Chivay<\/strong> have been filming scenes for Season 5, so that\u2019s another point there. Marti Sodergren<\/strong>, however, Shani\u2019s medical colleague in the battle tent, didn\u2019t come back in Season 4 and we don\u2019t know about her status in Season 5.<\/p>\n

All of that said, we shouldn\u2019t expect a battle of such scale as seen in Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon. We haven\u2019t seen any evidence of extensive two-four weeks long shoots outdoors with hundreds of extras, which would be needed for that kind of on-screen battle. Instead, we\u2019d expect things to rely more on Shani, for instance and a little bit of actual fighting.<\/p>\n

The Witcher Season 4 is in post-production for a 2025 release. Andrzej Sapkowski\u2019s new Witcher book Crossroads of Ravens is available in Poland and will be released internationally in September 2025. CD Projekt Red\u2019s The Witcher 4 is now in full production.<\/p>\n
