The Witcher: Blood Origin Creators Talk Elves, Spinoffs, & The Witcher Season 4
17Only 3 years since Netflix premiered the first season of their fantasy series The Witcher, the original series’ showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and writer Declan de Barra are taking fans back to the beginning in The Witcher: Blood Origin. Based on the novels by author Andrzej Sapkowski, Blood Origin is set 1200 years before the events of Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill), and will explore The Witcher multiverse before the monsters plagued the Continent, as well as how the proto-Witcher came to be.
Blood Origin will feature an ensemble cast that fans know will see Joey Batey reprising his role as Jaskier, and will introduce Sophia Brown as Éile, Michelle Yeoh as Scian, Laurence O'Fuarain as Fjall, Minnie Driver as Seanchaí, Mirren Mack as Merwyn, Lenny Henry as Balor, Nathaniel Curtis as Brían, Dylan Moran as Uthrok One-Nut, and Jacob Collins-Levy as Eredin.
With the prequel premiering exclusively on Netflix this December 25, Hissrich and De Barra (who now serves as Blood Origin’s showrunner) sat down with Collider’s Steve Weintraub. During their interview, they share what they’re most looking forward to for fans of the universe to see, and discuss the elven culture and how they fell on hard times during The Witcher. They also talk new, “beautiful songs,” the endless possibilities of exploring this world with future spinoffs, and how the switch to Liam Hemsworth will affect filming for The Witcher Season 4. You can watch the interview in the video above, or read the full transcript below.
