The Witcher: Blood Origin Release Date: Is It Coming In September 2022?

The Witcher: Blood Origin Update: Fans are anxious to watch the highly anticipated live-action prequel series The Witcher: Blood Origin, which will expand Netflix’s Witcher universe. The long-awaited television series was finally finished with production last year.

Although we don’t yet have a solid release date, the following content will provide insight into all of the show’s elements, including the description, cast information, directors, filming locations, and much more.

After a four-month production, The Witcher: Blood Origin officially wrapped up filming in November 2021 and entered post-production. The program later required reshoots, though. Retakes occurred two weeks earlier this year, and the production was finished by April.

With the fresh footage, the show should now be in post-production again. Three of the six episodes will be directed by Sarah O’Gorman, who previously worked on Netflix’s Cursed and The Last Kingdom, and the other three by Vicky Jewson (Close, Born of War). O’Gorman will reportedly direct episodes 1, 4, and 6, while Jewson will reportedly handle episodes 2, 3, and 5.

The Witcher: Blood Origin Release Date: Is It Coming In September 2022?

First, let’s address the most crucial issue: When will The Witcher: Blood Origin be available on Netflix? No precise release date has been provided by the streaming powerhouse at the time of updating. According to what we’ve observed, Netflix is currently planning to premiere the show in December 2022.

According to some reports, December 25th is considered as a potential release date for the series, but as of right now, all we know is that it will happen sometime in 2022.

Given that they all fall under the same category, some had theorized that Netflix would decide to premiere The Witcher: Blood Origin at the same time as House of Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel series, and the forthcoming Lord of the Rings series on Amazon Prime.

The Witcher: Blood Origin Cast And Characters

Will The Witcher: Blood Origin feature any The Witcher characters?

Unexpectedly, the response to this query is yes! Even though it takes place 1200 years before The Witcher, the prequel will feature at least one well-known character from the original series. The legendary bard Jaskier, played by Joey Batey, will have a little part in the film.

Storyline Details

Given how little is known about this time in the history of the Continent, it is obvious that Blood Origin’s plot will rely far more on the authors’ creativity. Almost as much of a mystery surrounds the creation of the first Witcher as the Conjunction. Sometime after the first monsters appeared on the Continent, a band of outlaw magicians banded together to create a weapon to combat the supernatural beings that had begun to plague the population in many areas.

Ironically, some of them, like the sorcerer Alzur, were the ones who used magic to conjure the most dreadful horrors imaginable. The Trial of the Grasses, a clandestine and very painful procedure, was used to create the first witchers. Those that made it through developed improved reflexes, speed, and agility, making them the best monster killers. Although the show will find its own way to these events, it is still permissible for it to take from the books.

Is A Book The Inspiration For The Witcher: Blood Origin?

Fans are aware that Andrzej Sapkowski’s well-known works served as the inspiration for The Witcher series. A popular series of video games from CD Projekt Red as well as a vast array of other items, such as comics, clothing, and more, were all inspired by the books.

Even though the prequel isn’t based on a single book like the main series is, there is still a lot of history in The Witcher canon that the writers may use to craft this story.

Does The Witcher: Blood Origin Have A Teaser?

A post-credits trailer for the live-action prequel series was presented if you stayed for The Witcher season 2 after the credits rolled. You can watch it here

Although we do not yet have the full-length trailer, the clip as mentioned above serves as the show’s first official teaser. If we had to hazard a prediction, I’d say Netflix will make it available during the forthcoming 2022 Geeked Week.
