The Witcher prequel Blood Origin is finally coming to Netflix this December

The Witcher: Blood Origin, a prequel series to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher, finally has a release window. Netflix has announc🦩ed that the new series will debut this December.

Other details are under wraps, but we've long been waiting for Blood Origin to arrive. The series is set 1,200 years before the events of the mainline Wiඣtcher series and a trailer – which you can see above – first debuted in December last year as a Witcher seaso༒n 2 post-cred🍰its sting.

A reason for the long wait may 澳洲幸运5🌳开奖号码历史查询:have been some production woes along the way. According to previous reports, Blood Origin was initially six episode long, but that was reduced to four. Reshoots and edits were carried out "in an attempt to bring Blood Origin closer to the main series as well as polish and cu♌t some of the mater🧸ial that was deemed to be weak." Accordingly, despite this taking place much before the main series, the bard Jaskier will reportedly now play a much more significant role in the miniseries. It’s speculated that he could act as the narrator for the tale, providing present-day interludes between scenes or episodes.

Sophia Brown is The Witcher: Blood Origin's lead and will play Éile, a warrior of the Queen's Guard. Another major player is Michelle Yeoh’s Scian, "the last member of a nomadic tribe of sword-elves on a mission to retrieve a blade stolen from her people." Joining the pair is Laurence O’Fuarain as Fj🅠all, "a man born into a clan of warriors🔯 sworn to protect a king."

The official synopses reads: "Set in an elven world 1200 years before the world of The Witcher, Blood Origin will tell a story lost to ti🍌me &nda꧙sh; the origin of the very first Witcher, and the events that lead to the pivotal 'conjunction of the spheres,' when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one."

The Witcher: Blood Origin news was announced during Netflix's Tudum event. For more from the streamer, check out the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Netflix shows.
