The Witcher season 4 ending explained: How it sets up the series finale

Ciri can never catch a break in The Witcher. In season 1, her homeland was sacked by Nilfgard and she had to travel the Continent fleeing capture. In season 2, she was possessed by the demon Voleth Meir. In season 3, she nearly died in the desert and gave up her immense magical power. Season 4 again ends with Princess Cirilla of Cintra (Freya Allan) in a very dark place — with even more challenges ahead in the show’s fifth and final season.
