This prequel takes us to the elven Golden Era, 1200 years before the original series, and here’s what the official logline has to say about it:

“The Witcher: Blood Origin tells the story of seven strangers who join together to fight an unstoppable empire… When gateways to other worlds are opened and a power-hungry sage unleashes a new weapon, the Seven realize they must create a monster in order to defeat one.”

Sophia Brown and Laurence O’Fuarain will play Éile and Fjall, two warriors from the opposing clans, who must learn to trust each other to survive. The cast also includes Michelle Yeoh as the sword master Scian, Mirren Mack as Princess Merwyn, Lenny Henry as Chief Sage Balor, and Minnie Driver as Seanchaí.

The Witcher: Blood Origin will premiere on Netflix this Christmas, and it will feature a total of four episodes. The original series is set to come back for its third season with Henry Cavill in the lead role, with Liam Hemsworth set to replace him in Season 4.

The Witcher: Blood Origin is set 1,200 years before the events of the original series, and it tells the story of the creation of the first prototype Witcher. In addition to Yeoh, the series will also star Laurence O’Fuarain and Jon Prophet. Jodie Turner-Smith was previously attached to star before dropping out due to scheduling conflicts.

According to the official logline, Yeoh will take on the role of Scian, the very last of her nomadic tribe of sword-elves, who launches herself into a deadly quest to retrieve a stolen sacred sword that has been taken from her fallen tribe by nefarious means.

The Witcher: Blood Origin isn’t the only exciting project that Yeoh currently has on the way. We’ll soon get to see her in Gunpowder Milkshake and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and she’s also been attached to Avatar 2 and its upcoming sequels.

This fantasy drama takes place 1,200 years before the events of The Witcher, and it serves as the origin story of the first Witchers that roamed the world. Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, who created the original series, will executive produce the prequel with Declan de Barra serving as showrunner.

Turner-Smith has been cast in the role of Éile, described as “an elite warrior blessed with the voice of a goddess, who has left her clan and position as Queen’s guardian to follow her heart as a nomadic musician” before a grand reckoning forced her to return to her old life and embark on a quest for vengeance and redemption.

The rising British star got her big break with her role in the critically acclaimed road-trip drama Queen & Slim. She’s currently attached to several more projects, including a historical Channel 5 drama that will see her taking on the role of Anne Boleyn.

According to multiple reports, Cavill, who plays the lead character Geralt of Rivia on the show, suffered the injury on set while shooting one particularly demanding scene. The full extent of the injury remains unknown so far, but the actor was reportedly advised by doctors to take a break.

This event presents another obstacle for an already troubled production of The Witcher’s second season. The filming of new episodes is behind schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic while the production experienced several other issues in the past.

The Witcher debuted on December 20th, 2019, and season one immediately became a hit for Netflix. The streaming service giant initially planned to roll out season two by the end of this year but was forced to postpone it until 2021. However, this also might be out of reach if the problems continue to plague the set.

In the meantime, Netflix is looking to bank in on the success of The Witcher by making plans for an animated movie Nightmare of the Wolf and a prequel six-part limited series titled Blood Origin. The animated movie should premiere by the end of the year while the series is believed to be in its early stages and shouldn’t be expected anytime soon.

Declan de Barra will serve as executive producer and showrunner of this series, which will explore the rise and fall of the Elven civilization and tell the tale of the very first Witcher.

“As a lifelong fan of fantasy, I am beyond excited to tell the story The Witcher: Blood Origin. A question has been burning in my mind ever since I first read The Witcher books—What was the Elven world really like before the cataclysmic arrival of the humans?” said de Barra in a statement.

The Witcher: Blood Origin will be a limited series consisting of six parts, and it will take place 1,200 years before the events of the original series. In addition to working on the second season of the Henry Cavill-starring show, Netflix is also plotting an animated spin-off film titled The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.
