The Witcher: Blood Origin is a four-episode prequel miniseries set 1,200 years before the events of The Witcher. The story explores the creation of the first Witcher, the convergence of the spheres that merged the worlds of humans, elves, and monsters, and the fall of the once-great elven civilization.

Along the way, they confront their own internal conflicts and the harsh realities of war, while laying the groundwork for the intertwined destinies of humans, elves, and monsters.
Rich in action, mythology, and poignant storytelling, The Witcher: Blood Origin expands the lore of The Witcher universe, offering fans a deeper understanding of the world’s tumultuous history and its impact on future generations.
