"But the actual initial mechanics for that witcher, and the Trial of the Grasses, that was open, it’s like, 'How did that come about?'. "The first official witcher didn’t happen until way after the arrival of the humans, with the creation of various witcher schools," de Barra noted. Geralt and Vesemir are the most famous ones, but we should get a glimpse of who becomes the prototype witcher in the show. We'll also see the origins of the witchers, aka humans who have undergone rigorous training and magical experimentation to turn them into vicious monster hunters. "We get to tell a tale about the elves when they were at their height, like all great societies before their fall." "Viewers will be surprised because they’re going to see a story told about a period of elven history that was buried by the humans after their arrival and eventual conquest of the continent," de Barra also told Tudum. Here's Netflix's official synopsis (opens in new tab) for the show: "Set in an elven world 1200 years before the world of The Witcher, Blood Origin will tell a story lost to time – the origin of the very first 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."Īccording to de Barra, who sketched the series' whole idea down on a napkin in November 2019 (per EW (opens in new tab)), The Witcher: Blood Origin will place an emphasis on the ancient Elven society, tensions between races, and other issues caused by the Conjunction. The Witcher: Blood Origin storyĮile will be The Witcher: Blood Origin's protagonist. Francesca Mills (Harlots) will play Meldorf, Amy Murray (in her first major acting role) has been cast as Fenrik, and Aidan O'Callaghan (The Rook) will play Kareg. Other supporting cast members include Dylan Moran (Black Books) as Uthrok One-Nut, Nathaniel Curtis (It's a Sin) as Brían, and Huw Novelli (The Snow Spider) as Callan, who is also known as Brother Death. Their fates, then, might be more magically intertwined than we think. These characters are referred to as celestial twins, individuals born to different mothers but who came into the world when the same meteor appeared in the sky. Zach Wyatt (Karen Pirie) will portray Syndril, while Lizzie Annis (Night Growler) is Zacaré.
Mirren Mack (The Nest, Sex Education) plays Princess Merwyn, who grows up in a patriarchial monarchy but someone de Barra describes as "having a fire in her". Lenny Henry (Doctor Who, The Rings of Power) will appear as Chief Sage Balor, a "product of class in society" who uses his talents to become the current king's advisor. There are plenty of original characters set to debut, too. With The Witcher season 2 finally introducing the Wild Hunt to audiences, it'll be intriguing to see what elements of Eredin's backstory (if any) are included. Interestingly, Jacob Collins-Levy (The White Princess) has been cast as Eredin, an elven cavalry commander who led the Wild Hunt. In his quest for redemption, Fjall will find himself fighting beside the most unlikely of allies as he carves a path of vengeance across a continent in turmoil." A scar that won’t let him settle, or make peace with himself or the world around him. O'Fuarain (Vikings, Game of Thrones) will portray Fjall, a Dog Clan member described by Variety (opens in new tab) as being "born into a clan of warriors sworn to protect a king, Fjall carries a deep scar within, the death of a loved one who fell in battle trying to save him. When a chance presents itself to retrieve a stolen sacred sword, taken from her fallen tribe by nefarious means, she launches herself into a deadly quest that will change the outcome of the Continent." No one can come close to her artistry with the blade, and no one carries as much loss within their heart. She's described (per Deadline (opens in new tab)) as "the very last of her nomadic tribe of sword-elves. Judging by the footage we've seen, however, Éile will be roped back into the life she left behind.Īs for Yeoh ( Star Trek: Discovery, Shang-Chi), her character Scían hails from the Ghost Clan and is the swords master who trained Éile. In a separate EW (opens in new tab) article, Éile is revealed to be the daughter of the Raven Clan's Chieftain, who is trained from birth to become a formidable warrior before she turns her back on fighting. Per Entertainment Weekly (opens in new tab) (EW), Éile is a warrior of the Queen's guard who leaves her post to become a traveling musician. Yeoh is the biggest name attached to the project, but Brown's Éile is the series' protagonist. The Witcher: Blood Origin cast comprises 15 characters: Michelle Yeoh will have a significant role in Blood Origin.
