In a recent interview with Collider, "Witcher" showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich explained that she always keeps her endgame in mind when telling a story. For that reason, she knows exactly how "The Witcher" storylines will ultimately play out. "I absolutely know where the series is going to end," she added. "I know what season it's going to end, I know how it's going to end, which is very, very exciting."
While Hissrich refrained from saying how many seasons that would amount to, exactly, she did reveal that the show's endgame would pull from "The Lady of the Lake," which is the fifth novel in the Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski. She didn't say how many seasons the main series would have, she also didn't preclude ordering future "Witcher" spinoffs, sequels, and prequels, thus acknowledging that the series will live on far past Henry Cavill's planned exit at the end of Season 3. And as for Cavill's own future post-"Witcher," well, that's a much larger question that Hissrich is most likely incapable of answering.
