Netflix has released a new trailer for its live action The Witcher prequel series, which is viewable below.
Announced in July 2020, The Witcher: Blood Origin is a four-part series starring Michelle Yeoh, Sophia Brown and Laurence O’Fuarain.
“Set in an elven world 1200 years before the time of Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri, The Witcher: Blood Origin will tell a tale lost to history: the creation of the first prototype Witcher, and the events that led to the pivotal Conjunction of the Spheres, when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one,” according to Netflix.
