The casting change offers Netflix's series a fresh start or soft reboot.

Season 4 can address fan complaints about deviations from the books.

There are theories about the introduction of a multiverse to explain Geralt's new look.

The show could pivot back to following Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels more closely.

The Witcher Season 4 could benefit from focusing on fewer characters and more detailed storylines.
