And to add to this release date news, we can also add that the series has brought on another member to its cast, in the form of the Oscar-nominated Minnie Driver.

As for what Blood Origin will be about, the series is set 1,200 years before the events of the main The Witcher series, and follows "a trio of warrior elves (Michelle Yeoh, Laurence O'Fuarain, and Sophia Brown) who will become entangled with the creation of the first prototype Witcher."
