The Witcher Blood Origin Live Action Limited Prequel Series Coming To Netflix

Announcing The Witcher: Blood Origin, a 6 part live-action The Witcher spin-off series from Declan de Barra and Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. — Netflix Geeked (@NetflixGeeked) July 27, 2020 The story is an origin of sorts but more for the universe than for Cavill’s character of Geralt of Rivia. It will take place in the world of elves and detail the creation of the witchers in a time before the worlds of men, elves, and monsters joined together. It’s pulling at some truly deep lore that hasn’t been unpacked much in the books or video games and could give the show a unique slant on the world. Despite the first season of The Witcher jumping all over the place with timelines, this series will probably not intersect with it. Declan de Barra explained the following about the series: De Barra’s previous writing and producing credits include Iron Fist and The Originals, neither of which is that high-quality of a show, but they give him experience in both the realm of fantasy and superheroes, of which The Witcher series has aspects of both. Hissrich, on the other hand, is a long-time producer of a long list of quality shows including Daredevil, The Umbrella Academy, and The Witcher itself. There’s no release date yet, but this isn’t the only witcher action we have to look forward to. Netflix greenlit a second season of The Witcher a long while ago and also is working on an animated prequel, The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, which focuses on Vesemir, the man who trained and mentored Geralt.
