After the hype and critics’ applause for the first season, Netflix announced a prequel miniseries titled The Witcher: Blood Origin in July 2020. It was co-created by Lauren Schmidt and Declan De Bara. They are also the showrunners of the main series. The Witcher’s 2^nd season was released in December 2021.

The Witcher: Blood Origin promises to deliver a majestic trip down the Witcher lane to showcase an epic event that changed the world forever. So, while we eagerly await the release of the prequel miniseries, read more to find out everything we know about the thrilling prequel series of The Witcher.

Can I watch the trailer for The Witcher: Blood Origin?

Yes, you can watch the Witcher: Blood Origin trailer on the official YouTube Handle of Netflix. Initially, a teaser was released to keep fans intrigued, but as the release date approaches, the showrunners have released the trailer of the miniseries. In addition, a new trailer was released as a big surprise at Brazil’s annual CCXP pop culture festival. You can see it here:

The trailer has cryptic dialogue and four ominous words: “All beginnings. It all ends.” It won’t be long before fans make pop culture references and unravel the meaning behind this saying. It is relevant to Witcher’s history and lore, but what could it mean for our lead characters in the main series?

Speaking of the protagonist, we comprehensively look at our new core group of lead characters. The trailer describes them as “seven warriors, outcasts and strangers to each other. Synergized together to fight an unstoppable empire.” The team is a mix of humans, dwarven, and eleven races, and they must join forces to beat the threat at hand.

To wrap up the recent trailer, we also see Jaskier played by Joey Batey, a bard and Geralt’s friend from the main series covered in blood. He is speaking with Seanchai, a shapeshifting storyteller who can travel between the quantum of worlds and time.

What’s The Witcher: Blood Origin about?

The official synopsis of the miniseries states: “Every Story has a beginning.” Witness the untold history of the Continent in this miniseries. It is a prequel story based in the eleven world 1200 years before the chronicles of The Witcher.

The prequel will share a story lost to time and narrate the notion of the creation of the first Witcher and the events that lead to the monumental “Conjunction of the Spheres” when the alternate realms of the men, elves, and monsters merged to become one.

If you are a Witcher Connoisseur and have read the books, you must be aware of the havoc that’s about to break in the Witcher verse. However, the main TV series hasn’t dived into the book details meaning the new prequel series could contain lots of indispensable information for the upcoming third season and beyond.

Let’s break down the key elements portrayed in the trailer.

The miniseries will highlight the once powerful and influential civilization of Elven. As we know from the main series, elves are on the verge of rebuilding the kingdom they once had. However, as they are currently seeking asylum in Cintra, another kingdom is experiencing its struggles after being occupied and martyrs of their monarchs.

Seeing how far the elves have fallen, the miniseries could demonstrate an era in which they were thriving and the roles they played in their own empire’s unwinding.

You must be wondering what the Conjunction of the Spheres is. As we identified in the second season, an incredibly dangerous and larger multiverse could be explored, leading to worlds from which many of the monsters originated. So it seems as though the miniseries could provide us with lots of essential information about the multiverse of Witcher.

Moreover, referring to the Conjunction itself, we may also learn that for the first time, all these worlds are chaotically submerged into each other. So maybe this is the conjunction or not; let’s find out in the prequel miniseries releasing soon.

The miniseries will explain the origins behind the creation and need of Witchers. Essentially the Witchers were initially created to defeat the monsters that traveled between the alternate realms. There’s a lot to unpack and speculate about in the four-episode miniseries.

Therefore, it will be interesting to watch Blood Origin this Christmas. In addition, it will provide larger content to the intriguing fantasy franchise.
