    “Blood Origin” is set roughly 1,500 years before “The Witcher,” and will chronicle the creation and prototyping of the very first Witcher, as well as the actual conjunction of the spheres.

    Éile is described as an “elite warrior blessed with the voice of a goddess,” who has left her clan and position as Queen’s guardian to follow her heart as a nomadic musician. A grand reckoning on the continent forces her to return to the way of the blade in her quest for vengeance and redemption.

    This isn’t the only spinoff Netflix is working on, either. There will also be “The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf,” an animated tale about Witcher Vesemir, mentor to Henry Cavill‘s Geralt of Rivia.

    We’ll let you know what else we hear about casting, possible production start, and when the next season of “The Witcher” will hit Netflix. Season 1 is available to stream now.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
