Warning: spoilers for The Witcher season 4 forward.
Even earlier than watching The Witcher season 4, you might need guessed that the season finale would have one of the best plot reveal. Nevertheless, I believe this truly occurs in episode 6 of the hit Netflix present – which I might additionally say is the strongest episode of the collection.
Fortunately, I had the prospect to ask showunner Lauren Schmidt-Hissrich the way it all occurred – and sure, it means Tissaia may technically return as soon as once more in season 5.
Tissaia’s cameo in The Witcher season 4 episode 6 ‘filmed new scenes’ for phantasm magic reveal
“New scenes have been filmed for this,” Schmidt-Hissrich confirms. “Sasha Harris, who’s our wonderful producer, will say when somebody dies on our present, ‘Are they lifeless, or are they Lauren-dead?’ Meaning they could come again at any level. Oftentimes, we are saying goodbye to actors and it is like, ‘truly, are you able to come again? Am I actual? Am I a ghost?’ My imaginative and prescient is, we’ll determine it out.
“I like that you just love the Battle of Monte Calvo,” she tells me. “We needed to work actually onerous this season. Within the books, Yennefer isn’t an enormous presence on this specific story. She’s a jade statue for lots of it. The tales of the females on this present are essential and we did not need to sideline her, so we needed to craft a narrative virtually from scratch.
“The Battle of Montecalvo is talked about within the books, however we’re by no means actually there for it. So it was a lot enjoyable to delve into and simply be artistic. Our shock customer is one in all my favourite moments.”
For me, Schmidt-Hissrich’s telling me actually anyone can come again from the lifeless is sufficient gas for my delusional fireplace to imagine we may see Tissaia in The Witcher season 5. Each seasons 4 and 5 have been filmed back-to-back… so if she was filming episode 6 anyway, why not maintain her on the payroll for a bit of longer?
On condition that Geralt (Liam Hemsworth), Yennefer and Ciri (Freya Allen) are all nonetheless separated by the point season 4 ends, The Witcher season 5 may throw absolutely anything at us. Numerous characters have died within the interim, and I am all for as many as attainable having a dramatic return.
