The primary trailer for The Witcher: Blood Origin has a really surprising visitor

Netflix has launched the primary trailer for The Witcher: Blood Origin, a prequel collection set 1,200 years earlier than the Witcher saga we’re all accustomed to portrayed in Netflix’s different Witcher show. The trailer outlines a number of of the important thing characters, together with 

It is in any other case very a lot your typical Netflix fantasy trailer. Plenty of sweeping shots to stir emotion, a number of quips throughout fights, and loads of shots of the principle villains doing villain stuff and/or standing there trying menacing.

One factor, nevertheless is form of a shock: A mud-spattered Jaskier, everybody’s favourite bard, making an look alongside somebody who appears to be the narrator. Maybe he is been summoned to play alongside and write a ballad that tells the story we’re to see in Blood Origin?

Blood Origin would be the third show in Netflix’s burgeoning The Witcher empire, after the primary Witcher adaptation and Anime collection The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. In Nightmare, they did put Vesemir within the tub, so I assume the true query is: Who’s going within the tub in Blood Origin? Somebody’s gotta go within the tub. 

Netflix’s Witcher reveals have been the topic of great current controversy. Many within the wider neighborhood across the show, each followers of the video games and never, have been very disenchanted to listen to that the show’s writers are reportedly not followers of the unique tales. The trailer’s YouTube feedback had been instantly flooded with feedback to that impact.

Additional, the announcement that star Henry Cavill will depart The Witcher after this season has hit many followers laborious. The position of Geralt will now be taken by actor Liam Hemsworth.

Regardless of the drama, I am nonetheless fairly fascinated with Blood Origin as a result of Michelle Yeoh is concerned and I’ve bought these few actors I am loyal to unto demise as a result of… I identical to ’em. Have an enormous Geralt to have a good time/jeer to.
