What can we expect from The Witcher season 4?

You can remind yourself of the grand events of the end of season 4 in this handy Netflix article, which also tells us:

Geralt (Hemsworth), Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) and Ciri (Freya Allan) find themselves separated by a raging war and countless enemies. As their paths diverge and their goals sharpen, they encounter unexpected allies eager to join their journeys. And if they can accept these found families, they just might have a chance at reuniting for good…

Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix trilogy, The School for Good and Evil) is joining as Regis, a world-wise barber-surgeon with a mysterious past. Then, there’s Sharlto Copley (District 9) as the infamous bounty hunter Leo Bonhart; James Purefoy (The Following) as Skellen, Emhyr’s court advisor and high-ranking spy; and Danny Woodburn (Watchmen) as Zoltan, the fan-favourite dwarf from the books and games.

In his quest to reunite the trio, Geralt travels with a new group (including Jackie the bard), while Ciri is building a new identity as a member of a group of bandits knows as the Rats. Take a first look at it all in the official trailer:
