Netflix has unleashed a new teaser trailer for The Witcher: Blood Origin, the upcoming four-part prequel series starring Michelle Yeoh.
Set 1200 years before the events of The Witcher, the trailer transports us back in time to offer a glimpse at an untold story from the Continent: the creation of the first prototype Witcher. The clips show sweeping landscapes, magic-wielding warriors, and lots of bloody combat, with Yeoh’s character Scían declaring aloud: “All beginnings, all ends.”
Aside from Yeoh, we’ll see Sophia Brown as Éile, “an elite warrior-turned-nomadic musician,” Laurence O’Fuarain as Fjall, “a warrior that carries a deep scar within,” and a host of new characters, including Mirren Mack as Merwyn, Lenny Henry as Balor, and Minnie Driver who will play a “pivotal” role in connecting Blood Origin to the main series.
The four-part prequel series is created by Declan de Barra and Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, with original author Andrezej Sapkowski consulting. It will chronicle the events leading up to the Conjunction of the Spheres: a cosmic occurrence that allowed different dimensions to briefly merge and brought magic to The Continent for the very first time.
The show’s first episode ‘Of Ballads and Bloody Blades’ is written by Declan de Barra and directed by Sarah O’Gorman. It will be released on Netflix alongside the series’ other three episodes on December 25 — joining the first two seasons of The Witcher and The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, an animated origin story film released earlier this year.
