With its latest Witcher franchise spinoff scheduled to arrive on December 25th, Netflix has shared a new trailer for The Witcher: Blood Origin. The approximately two-minute-long clip expands on the teaser the company uploaded last month. After most of Netflix’s past promotional material for Blood Origin focused on Michelle Yeoh’s character Scian, the latest trailer gives her co-stars, including Sophia Brown and Laurence O’Fuarain, a chance to shine. It probably won’t surprise you to find out they’re all badasses in their own way.
Set some 1,200 years before the story of Geralt and Ciri, Blood Origin promises to give fans more insight into the creation of the first witcher. You’ll want to watch the clip through to the end to catch a glimpse of Jaskier (Joey Batey). It looks like everyone’s favorite bard will work alongside Minnie Driver to immortalize the exploits of Scian’s band of elves. When Driver announced she was joining The Witcher franchise back in September, she said her character would play a pivotal role “in connecting Blood Origin’s past with The Witcher’s future.”
Blood Origin comes during a period of uncertainty for Netflix’sThe Witcher. The company recently announced that Henry Cavill would not return to play Geralt of Rivia after the show’s third season. Liam Hemsworth will carry the series moving forward.
