The new series is a six-part live-action spinoff to the ongoing main series that was an instant hit for the streaming service. Blood Origin<\/em> will be helmed by Declan de Barra alongside Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, the showrunner for the original The Witcher<\/em> show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a lifelong fan of fantasy, I am beyond excited to tell the story The Witcher: Blood Origin,\u201d mentioned executive producer Declan de Barra said in a press statement when the show was initially announced. \u201cA question has been burning in my mind ever since I first read The Witcher books \u2013 What was the Elven world really like before the cataclysmic arrival of the humans? I\u2019ve always been fascinated by the rise and fall of civilizations, how science, discovery, and culture flourish right before that fall.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so thrilled to collaborate with Declan and the Netflix team on The Witcher: Blood Origin<\/em>,” added showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. “It\u2019s an exciting challenge to explore and expand The Witcher universe created by Andrzej Sapkowski, and we can\u2019t wait to introduce fans to new characters and an original story that will enrich our magical, mythical world even more.”<\/p>\n
