While the trailer did not reveal any details about the show, it introduced the leading characters - a sword-elf Scian played by Michelle. She can be seen on a mission to retrieve a sword that has been stolen from her people along with Eile and Fjall. The clip also hints at the Conjunction of Spheres, a cosmic event that has been alluded to multiple times in The Witcher.

According to reports, The Witcher: Blood Origin began filming earlier this year however, the release date has not yet been announced yet. Apart from Blood Origin, another spin-off titled The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf was also released on Netflix in 2021.
