The
Witcher
season
2
dropped
on
Netflix
this
week,
and
the
makers
surprised
fans
with
a
spin-off
announcement.
At
the
end
of
the
final
episode,
the
makers
unveiled
a
trailer
for
the
miniseries
titled
The
Witcher:
Blood
Origin
starring
Michelle
Yeoh.
Blood
Origin
stars
Michelle
Yeoh,
Laurence
O'Fuarain,
and
Sophia
Brown
set
to
release
in
2022.
The
show
is
reportedly
set
1200
years
before
Geralt
and
Ciri's
adventure
in
The
Witcher,
which
is
based
on
the
books
by
Polish
author
Andrzej
Sapkowski.
The
Witcher:
Blood
Origin's
official
synopsis
states
that
it
will
"tell
a
story
lost
to
time-the
origin
of
the
very
first
Witcher,
and
the
events
that
lead
to
the
pivotal
'conjunction
of
the
spheres,'
when
the
worlds
of
monsters,
men,
and
elves
merged
to
become
one."
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.
