Let us remember that The Witcher: Blood Origin “will tell us a story lost in time, the creation of the first Brujo prototype and the events that led to the fundamental conjunction of the spheres”, we can read in its official synopsis. With an approximate undated premiere on Netflix, this new six-episode miniseries will be directed by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, known for her work on the original series The Witcher with Henry Cavill.
“I have always been fascinated by the rise and fall of civilizations, how science, discovery and culture flourish just before the fall. The Witcher: Blood Origin will tell the story of the Elven civilization before its fall and, above all, it will reveal the forgotten history of the first sorcerer ”, says its creator De Barra.
