With its latest spin-off of the Witcher franchise slated for release on December 25, Netflix has released a new trailer for The Witcher: Blood Origin. The roughly two-minute clip expands on the teaser the company uploaded last month. After most of Netflix’s Blood Origin promotional material has 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 that they are all badass in their own way.
Set roughly 1,200 years before the story of Geralt and Ciri, Blood Origin promises fans more insight into the creation of the first witcher. You should watch the clip to the end to catch a glimpse of Jaskier (Joey Batey). It looks like everyone’s favorite bard is teaming up with Minnie Driver to immortalize the exploits of Scian’s band of elves. When Driver announced in September that she would be joining The Witcher franchise, she said her character would play a crucial role “in connecting the past of Blood Origin to the future of The Witcher.”
Blood Origin comes at a time of uncertainty for Netflix’s The Witcher. The company recently announced that Henry Cavill would no longer be playing Geralt of Rivia after the third season of the series. Liam Hemsworth will continue the series.
