As one of the world’s greatest fan conventions, all of the major studios have descended on Sao Paulo for the return of CCXP, Brazil’s gigantic pop culture festival, to celebrate the eagerly awaited upcoming television programmes and motion pictures. While several of the projects at CCXP this weekend have 2023 release dates, Netflix is giving us a sneak peek at a series that will be available in just a few short weeks. The Witcher: Blood Origin, a star-studded Netflix prequel series, is scheduled to premiere on Christmas Day. Today at CCXP, the streamer unveiled the full trailer for the upcoming series, and boy is it packed with exciting material.
The new trailer depicts the elven kingdom in all its splendour before being engulfed by humans and other creatures. The trio of Scan (Michelle Yeoh), Éile (Sophia Brown), and Fjall (Laurence O’Fuarain) take centre stage in the new trailer as we finally delve into a little of each of their stories. This is consistent with the previous teases we’ve received about the series. A pair of warriors named Éile and Fjall are alienated from their respective clans. These two exude fantastic enemies-to-lovers vibes in the new footage, which will have you impatiently anticipating Blood Origin’s release. Scan, meanwhile, is the last of her kind and a master of the sword. As each new player is introduced as a member of the group “bound together to fight an unstoppable empire,” we also learn that these three will be joined by four additional warriors through a voiceover by Seancha, played by Minnie Driver.
What is The Witcher: Blood Origin about?
Preceding the events of Netflix’s The Witcher by 1200 years, The Witcher: Blood Origin is a television series. Blood Origin tells “a story lost to time — exploring the creation of the first prototype Witcher, and the events that lead to the pivotal Conjunction of the Spheres when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one,” according to the official synopsis of the program. The popular PlayStation video game franchise of the same name served as the inspiration for both the first season of the show and its upcoming prequel. The Witcher: Blood Origin will explore the rich lore and foundation that the main series is built upon, whereas The Witcher tells an original story set during the same time period as the games.
Who is in The Witcher: Blood Origin?
Joey Batey, who will be reprising his role as Jaskier, will make an appearance in the upcoming limited series, as shown in the new trailer. The Witcher: Blood Origin stars Batey, Driver, Brown, Yeoh, and O’Fuarain in addition to Lenny Henry as Chief Sage Balor, Francesca Mills as Meldof, Huw Novelli as Brother Death, and Zach Wyatt and Lizzie Annis as a pair of celestial twin sages named Syndril and Zacaré. Mirren Mack plays Princess Merwyn.
The limited series’ supporting cast also includes Daniel Fathers, Faoileann Cunningham, and Amy Murray as clan chieftain Osfar and his daughter Ryl, and Mark Rowley as King Alvitir. Ket, played by Kim Adis, Bran, portrayed by Nathaniel Curtis, and Uthrok One-Nut, played by Dylan Moran, will be Merwyn’s handmaid. Finally, Claire Cooper will play Ithlinne’s mother Aevenien and Ella Schrey-Yeats will play the young prophet Ithlinne.
On December 25, 2022, The Witcher: Blood Origin will be available on Netflix. View the newest trailer by scrolling down.
