‘We want people to show up to Blood Origin with no concept of The Witcher’
has led to calls for the show’s creative team to be sacked.
Set 1,200 years before Geralt’s adventures, Blood Origin tells the story of a seven-strong team of resistance fighters who take on the tyrannical elven kingdom of Xin’trea. That number includes fighter-turned-traveling musician Éile , hot-headed warrior Fjall , and spiritual swords expert Scian "When we meet the elves in The Witcher, they’ve been colonized," he explains."They’ve lost their culture, songs, language – they can barely even reproduce. In our show, their empire is like Rome’s before the fall. In some ways, their civilization is more advanced than what we see in The Witcher, so how did they get from here to there? I wanted to flip that on its head and perceive the elves in a different light.
For Brown, starring in a Witcher project provided the opportunity to utilize many of her real-world talents to bring Éile to life. Namely, her background in music and ballet, with the latter being particularly useful for the show’s pacy fight sequences. Blood Origin’s new cast of characters extends beyond Éile’s ragtag crew. New villains in the shape of Chief Druid Balor and Xin’trean princess Merwyn also play significant roles in transforming The Witcher’s universe.Of the individuals introduced in the miniseries, though, Minnie Driver’s Seanchaí is the most mysterious. A time-traveling, shapeshifting storyteller, Seanchaí is responsible for leading viewers through Blood Origin’s story.
Step forward Jaskier , the series’ fan-favorite bard, who was recently revealed to be part of Blood Origin’s cast. Viewers have begun to speculate on what his appearance means for the spin-off and Jaskier himself. Is he a time traveler like Seanchaí? Or is he secretly immortal?
