The Witcher: Blood Origin is a new live-action spin-off series for Netflix, set more than a millennium before Geralt of Rivia was strolling about the Continent.
1200 years before Geralt of Rivia, the worlds of monsters, men and elves merged into one, and the first Witcher came to be.
Announcing The Witcher: Blood Origin, a 6 part live-action The Witcher spin-off series from Declan de Barra and Lauren Schmidt Hissrich.

From the original series showrunner, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, and Declan de Barra, the writer of the episode “Of Banquets, Bastards and Burials,” the new series tells the story of the very first Witcher who was created in the world. The Witcher: Blood Origin doesn’t have a stated release date, but we might expect it to arrive after the animated movie.
Studio Mir’s The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf should be released before the second season of the live-action series of The Witcher. That was said to come out in 2021, but the pandemic led to delays in filming as industries around the world shut down. In the second series, we will see new characters like Eskel, Lambert, Coen, and more, and it will follow one single timeline. And, Hissrich confirmed that LGBTQ+ themes and characters will appear, too.
