Netflix have confirmed the launch date for their Witcher spin-off "Blood Origins"
The prequel is set 1200 years before Henry Cavill's Geralt of Rivia, focusing on the story of "seven outcasts who unite against an unstoppable power that took everything from them. Their blood quest giving rise to a prototype Witcher in a conflict that brings about the 'conjunction of the spheres,' when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merge to become one,"
Blood Origin boasts an exciting cast, with Everything all at Once's Michelle Yeoh in the role of sword-elf Scian and Giri/Haji's Sonia Brown in that of warrior-turned-musician Éile. It's a Sin's Nathaniel Curtis and Game of Thrones' Laurence O'Fuarain star as Brían and Fjall respectively.
The miniseries is expected to make its debut on December 25.
As for The Witcher, Geralt will return for a third season, expected to stream next year.
In the upcoming chapter, Geralt and sorceress Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) will team up to protect Princess Ciri (Freya Allan) against those out to capture her, with Yennefer also overseeing the princess' magical training.

Michelle Yeoh was my childhood crush….still is. She jumped a motorbike onto a moving train. I’ll watch anything she’s in. Hopefully this is better than the Henry Cavill thing.
CHEESY PASTA....LETS GO

There is no direct source material for this other than a few references in the books, so this is all new stories and characters.

Still very much looking forward to this show.
I too will watch anything Michelle Yeoh is in, so hopefully when I watch this one I am not disappointed.
