The six-part limited series will be set in an elven world 1,200 years before the events of the main series. “It tells the story lost to time – the creation of the first prototype Witcher,” reads the synopsis. “And the events that lead to the pivotal “conjunction of the spheres,” when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one.”
The Witcher: Blood Origin will be led by three different characters portrayed by: Vikings alum Laurence O’Fuarain as Fjall, a character who comes from a clan of warriors sworn to protect a King; and Michelle Yeoh (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) as Scían, the last member of the nomadic tribe of sword-elves; and Sophia Brown (Giri/Haji, Marcella) as Éile, an elite warrior blessed with the voice of a goddess.
Joining the lead stars are Lenny Henry (Lord Of the Rings series), Mirren Mack (The Nest), Nathaniel Curtis (It’s A Sin), Dylan Moran (Black Books), Jacob Collins-Levy (Young Wallander), Huw Novelli (The Capture), Francesca Mills (Harlots), Zach Wyatt (Karen Pirie), Lizzie Annis, and Amy Murray.
