Set 1200 years before Geralt of Rivia, Blood Origin will explore a period when "the worlds of monsters, men and elves merged into one," as well reveal how the "first Witcher came to be."

"This has been the toughest secret to keep!" Hissrich wrote about the show's announcement. "I've always wanted to dive deeper into the myth and lore of the Continent, and now fans will have a chance to explore it with Declan de Barra in a prequel series, The Witcher: Blood Origin."

There wasn't any trailer released alongside the announcement too, which suggests that it'll still be a while before it arrives on the streaming giant.
