In its tireless search for its star franchise, Netflix bet everything on ‘The Witcher’, Andrzej Sapkowski’s book saga best known for its post-game adaptation. Since its premiere in December 2019 we have been able to see two seasons and an animated film, ‘The Wolf’s Nightmare’, but despite the fact that Henry Cavill has stepped aside as Geralt de Rivia streaming continues to expand the Continent.
You are a bard, aren’t you?
There is an event whose mention is repeated over and over again in ‘The Witcher’, almost like a mantra: the conjunction of the spheres that gave birth to that world. Now, ‘The origin of the blood’, which will be released on December 25, will take us to that moment with a team adventure that departs from the original material (It is based on a few lines from the books, which is the same as saying nothing) but it brings back one of the most beloved characters in the series.
In this adventure full of action and magic, which seems more fun with each passing trailer, in addition to the presence of Michelle Yeoh and Sophia Brown, it will feature Joey Batey as Dandelion, the bard who accompanies Geralt on his travels around the Continent. Frankly, by breaking free from the yoke of the source material it seems that showrunner Declan de Barra and the rest of the team, They are taking the saga with a little more desire.
It is not the only spin-off that still remains to be released before ‘The Witcher’ returns with its third season (Cavill’s last): it also an animated series for the whole family was announced. Come on, the future of the saga depends exclusively on the fans accepting that the series continue with Liam Hemsworth as the Blaviken Carniver. Otherwise, no matter how well he paints, we are seeing the last death throes of the franchise.
