What do we know so far about The Witcher: Blood Origin?
It is a prequel, set about 1200 years before the events of the main TV series (with filming to be made in Great Britain), which will narrate the origins of witchers such as Geralt of Rivia.
Composed of 6 parts, the miniseries, also produced by the streaming giant, will narrate the events of the very first witcher in history and the so-called “Conjunction of the spheres”, or the unification in a single world of those of men, monsters and elves.
