Blood Origin's leading trio of characters comprises Éile (Sophia Brown), a warrior who abandons her clan and her post as the queen's protector to wander the world as a singer; Fjall (Laurence O'Fuarain), a warrior who joins Éile in her quest; and Scian (Michelle Yeoh), an elf who is in search of a stolen sacred sword.
The new images promise blood as some images tease different places and cultures that will converge in 'The Witcher: Blood Origin', most of which are focused on the vicious battles that are bound to happen.
The series takes place 1,200 years before the events of the main series, at a time when the first Witcher is created, and the worlds of monsters, men and elves merge to become one.
By exploring the past of 'The Witcher, Blood Origins' puts some healthy distance from the original show while also allowing fans to explore new corners of the fantastic universe.
'The Witcher' quickly became one of Netflix's most successful original productions after its release in 2019.
Even though the production of Season 2 came to a halt due to the pandemic, the franchise kept growing strong on the streaming platform, with the animated feature 'The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf' spin-off released last August.
