Set in an Elven world 1200 years before the world of The Witcher, “The Witcher: Blood Origin”  will trace the origins of the very first Witcher of the Elven civilization before its fall, as well as the events that led to the pivotal “conjunction of the spheres,” when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to form one.

Declan de Barra is serving as showrunner and executive producer, and Lauren Schmidt Hissrich serves as executive producer on the 6-episode limited series. Andrzej Sapkowski will act as the series' creative consultant. Hivemind's Jason Brown and Sean Daniel are the executive producers alongside Tomek Baginski and Jarek Sawko from Platige Films.

“The Witcher: Blood Origin” will complete the production in December this year and is likely to arrive on Netflix by the end of July 2022 (Summer, 2022).

The Witcher season 2 will arrive on 17 December this year with eight episodes on Netflix.
