The Witcher: Blood Origins Netflix Spin-off Series Announced

A new tweet from the Netflix NX account states that the series will look at a period 1,200 years before The Witcher's protagonist Geralt of Rivia walked the lands of the Northern Kingdoms. This prequel series will focus on how the first Witcher was created. The six-part live-action show will be developed by the original series' showrunner, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, and Declan de Barra, who wrote the season 1 episode 'Of Banquets, Bastards and Burials'. No release date has been offered, but with the second series having had to delay filming until August because of COVID-19, it may potentially be some distance away. As for season 2 of The Witcher, we know that it will use a single timeline, which should hopefully rectify the main problem our review pointed out. It will also feature more Witcher characters beyond Geralt himself. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Purslow is IGN's UK News and Entertainment Writer.
