A full-length The Witcher: Blood Origin trailer for the new spin-off prequel series, which is set in the historical era of the Continent when the elven race was at its peak, was released by Netflix at the Comic-Con Experience (CCXP) in Brazil. The presence of Joey Batey’s Jaskier, also known as Dandelion the bard, a pivotal figure in the mainline, lead by Henry Cavill, The Witcher series, which takes place centuries later, is the biggest surprise. One may claim that time travel is involved, yet Jaskier never grew older during the Netflix series, which begs some interesting concerns.

The Witcher: Blood Origin trailer begins with some exposition dump, detailing a group of seven outcasts who got together to overthrow an unstoppable empire, set in the elven Golden Era, 1,200 years before Geralt of Rivia’s world. Chief Sage Balor (Lenny Henry) declares, “I’ve taken control of the entire Continent,” ushering in a violent, dysfunctional empire. “When faced with chaos, people invariably opt for order. whatever the price. The previous teaser only showed the three main characters—the vengeful brute Fjall (Laurence O’Fuarain), the wandering musician Éile (Sophia Brown), and the elf warrior Scian (Michelle Yeoh)—but this new trailer gives viewers a first look at the other strangers who have gathered for a worthy but ethereal cause.

In addition to them, we have Zach Wyatt and Lizzie Annis as the siblings of the celestial sage Syndril and Zacaré, and Francesca Mills as the warrior dwarf Meldof, Callan “Brother Death,” and Huw Novelli as the mohawk-sporting Callan. The two, who come from rival tribes and find it difficult to trust one another, Éile threatens Fjall, “I swore I’d kill you if we ever crossed paths again.” The Witcher: Blood Origin trailer, however, seems to imply that the trust gradually develops into a romance as the two cooperate “by the blade,” becoming a nearly unstoppable force. Then, we see a sort of monster that was probably conjured by Balor and his soldiers and sent out to hunt down our heroes.

In order to prevent the creature from killing the world, Syndril instructs his team to “mix the creature’s power with one of you,” which could be related to the construction of the first prototype, as previously reported. The Conjunction of Spheres event, which united the monster, human, and elf realms into one, entirely deposed the elves from their dominant position. The four-part series introduces this event. The Witcher: Blood Origin teaser concludes with Seancha (Minnie Driver) introducing a very worn-out Jaskier (Joey Batey). You’re a poet. As a storyteller, I am. I want you to bring a narrative to life by singing it.

The Witcher: Blood Origin was originally approved with six episodes, but the number was reduced in the editing room since it improved the narrative flow. “From all the stuff we shot, [the cutdown] naturally developed into four episodes. Co-creator Declan de Barra told Collider that the plot flowed optimally. “I wanted it to be a punch in the face so you can’t look away from it,” the author said.

On December 25, Christmas Day, all four episodes of The Witcher: Blood Origin will be available on Netflix.
