  WITCHER: BLOOD ORIGIN  

ARRIVES THIS CHRISTMAS!

Blood Origin arrives this Christmas

While fans of The Witcher franchise are still reeling from the shock after Henry Cavill has left the show and will give up the lead role to Liam Hemsworth after season three which should arrive sometime next summer, Netflix is counting on the prequel series WITCHER: BLOOD ORIGIN to save that ship from sinking. Well, judging by the trashy and cheap looking long new trailer they probably should not raise their hopes too high, but you can check it out below together with new poster for the four episode epic

The new show will have just four episodes

adventure series that arrives to the streamer at Christmas December 25th. One thing that the new trailer has revealed is that the annoying minstrel Jaskier will be present in this series as well as the narrator.

 Sophia Brown is Éile, a warrior of the Queen's guard who leaves to become a traveling musician. Michelle Yeoh as Scian, the last member of a nomadic tribe of sword-elves on a mission to retrieve a blade stolen from her people, and Laurence O'Fuarain as Fjall, a man born into a clan of warriors sworn to protect a king, but instead sets out in need of vengeance! The show set 1,200 years before the events of The Witcher television series will depict the creation of the first Witcher, as well as the events leading to the "Conjunction of the Spheres". It will also explore the ancient Elven civilization before its demise.
