The Witcher: Blood Origin: Joey Batey & Lenny Henry Discuss the Opening Sequence
45After the successful reception of Netflix’s 2019 fantasy series The Witcher, a new prequel adaptation, The Witcher: Blood Origin, is taking fans back to the beginning. Set 1200 years prior to Geralt of Rivia’s (Henry Cavill) monster-slaying, Blood Origin takes place in an elven world, and chronicles the events that will pave the way for the “Conjunction of Spheres,” the cataclysmic collision that introduced the worlds of elves, men and monsters. The prequel will also introduce fans to the proto-Witcher, the first to exist, and how they came to be.
In addition to the reprisal of Joey Batey as Jaskier, Lenny Henry will portray the Chief Druid Balor, with Sophia Brown as Éile, Laurence O’Fuarain as Fjall, Michelle Yeoh as Scian, Minnie Driver as Seanchaí and more.
Ahead of the series’ premiere on Netflix on December 25, Batey and Henry sat down with Collider’s Steve Weintraub. In the interview, Henry, who’s contributed to a number of hit series, professes his love for fantasy, and Batey explains how he was approached to be in the prequel. They also discuss the opening sequence of Blood Origin, the show’s cast and the energy they brought to set, and singing David Bowie and Bob Marley on set between takes.
