This comes after reports previously suggested that the project was scrapped (via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whats-on-netflix.com\/news\/the-rats-a-witcher-tale-netflix-witcher-spin-off\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:What\u2019s on Netflix;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">What\u2019s on Netflix<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In August 2025, an insider described the project as a \u201cdisaster\u201d to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redanianintelligence.com\/2025\/08\/26\/the-witchers-rats-spinoff-described-as-a-disaster-by-an-insider\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Redanian Intelligence;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Redanian Intelligence<\/a>.

However, it is reported that The Rats was set to be a prequel that would focus on the characters introduced in The Witcher Season 3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Witcher Season 4 will be out on Netflix on October 30, 2025. A teaser for the series was released with Liam Hemsworth as Geralt after Henry Cavill\u2019s departure. The show will end with Season 5, which is currently in active development.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While speaking to SFX Magazine about spin-offs in January 2025, The Witcher showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich said, \u201cWe made a conscious decision to end the live-action show after season five, where the books ended. We felt very strongly about that, but it doesn\u2019t mean that all Witcher storytelling has to be done. I love this world. I\u2019m constantly looking for other opportunities to expand it outside of the main mothership show\u201d (via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redanianintelligence.com\/2025\/01\/29\/the-witcher-showrunner-teases-more-spinoffs-after-final-season\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Redanian Intelligence;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Redanian Intelligence<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Originally reported by Ishita Verma on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.superherohype.com\/news\/628617-the-witcher-rats-spin-off-movie-netflix-release-date\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SuperHeroHype;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">SuperHeroHype<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/culture\/1663405-the-witcher-rats-spin-off-movie-netflix-release-date\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Report: The Witcher Season 4 to Release With a Spin-off Movie;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Report: The Witcher Season 4 to Release With a Spin-off Movie<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Witcher spin-off movie, The Rats, may reportedly arrive on Netflix along with Season 4 in October 2025.
