This post contains spoilers for "The Witcher" and "The Witcher: Blood Origin."
Now that the third season of Netflix's "The Witcher" has drawn to a close, it's safe to say that the prequel miniseries "The Witcher: Blood Origin" is more of a supplementary text than an essential spinoff. For the most part, the story of seven ancient warriors who brought about the Conjunction of the Spheres, leading to the collision of elven, monster, and human worlds, hasn't really come up in the flagship show's storyline. There are a few exceptions, though, including a moment in the penultimate episode of season 3 that sees a starving, hallucinating Ciri (Freya Allan) at the mercy of the spirit of the controversial rebel princess Falka.
When Falka (Hiftu Quasem) takes over Ciri's psyche, presenting her with visions of what her world would look like if she were to give in to her fire magic completely,...

While you don’t need to watch Witcher: Blood Origins before watching The Witcher season 3, it will help clarify a lot. The prequel series is set almost a thousand years before the events of The Witcher and showcases a world without humans, filled with elves, magic, and world-traveling possibilities. It follows seven soldiers on their journey to Xintrea before the conjunction of the spheres takes place. Blood Origin also details the origin of the elder blood, Ithlinne’s (Ella Schrey-Yeats) early life and prophecies, the first prototype-witcher, and how it connects to Ciri (Freya Allan). This certainly adds context to Season 3...

This article contains spoilers for The Witcher: Blood Origin and The Witcher
While The Witcher: Blood Origin did what it set out to do – show what caused the Conjunction of the Spheres – this four episode miniseries ultimately left us with more questions than answers. Between Jaskier’s (Joey Batey) involvement in the Elves’ fight, the origin of the Wild Hunt, and the start of Ciri’s Elder bloodline, there are plenty of things that we hope season 3 of The Witcher will address when the series returns next summer.
Here are the burning questions we still have after watching The Witcher: Blood Origin.
What do the Scoia’tael want with Jaskier?
The Witcher: Blood Origin opens on a bloody fight between Temerian soldiers and Elven warriors, with poor Jaskier somehow caught in the middle. The last time we saw the bard in the season 2 finale of The Witcher, he was at...

Netflix has unveiled the full-length trailer for The Witcher spinoff Blood Origin.
The footage dropped Saturday at Brazil Comic Con, and fans were introduced to a prequel set 1,200 years before the events of the original Netflix series.
The moment that will likely get everyone talking is the arrival of Joey Batey as Jaskier in the closing moments.
It's a big moment and suggests Jaskier will play a pivotal role in telling everyone about the events of the troubling time before humans existed in the Witcher universe.

The first trailer for Netflix’s Witcher prequel series has arrived, and it includes a fun surprise for fans of a certain bard.
Unveiled on Saturday at Comic Con Experience in Brazil, the trailer for The Witcher: Blood Origin ends with the return of Joey Batey as everyone’s favorite lute aficionado Jaskier. It’ll make more sense once you’ve seen the whole trailer. Or maybe it won’t. But hey, when have we let that stop us from enjoying this franchise?

Netflix dropped a new “The Witcher: Blood Origin” trailer at Ccxp down in Brazil on Saturday, offering a closer look at the four-part prequel event series and revealing that fan-favorite character Jaskier (Joey Batey) from the flagship Netflix series makes an appearance.
Set in an elven world 1200 years before the world of “The Witcher,” “Blood Origin” will tell a story lost to time – the creation of the first prototype Witcher, and the events that lead to the pivotal conjunction of the spheres, when the world of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one.
By the looks of this trailer the show is a bit more action/martial arts-heavy than the Henry Cavill-fronted original series, but it also looks to offer up answers to big questions posed in “The Witcher” – namely what in the world are those monoliths and what do they do.
