Netflix has shared a new trailer and poster for The Witcher: Blood Origin (via SFFGazette.com), offering a better idea of what's to come when we head 1200 years into the Continent's past on Christmas Day.
Serving as a prequel to the main The Witcher series, the spin-off will explore a number of important moments in The Continent's history. Those will include the creation of the first Witcher and even the eventual Conjunction of the Spheres. However, despite that very different setting, at least one familiar face will be part of the show.
As you'll see below, the trailer ends with an appearance from Joey Batey's Jaskier, with the implication being that Minnie Driver's character has travelled through time to ensure he can witness those events first-hand and relay the lessons from that time to those in his present (Geralt of Rivia, for example).
Could this go some way in explaining some of the questions fans have had about Jaskier? We wouldn't be surprised, especially as fans have already noticed he doesn't seem to age each time he crosses paths with Geralt across that Witcher's long life. The bard will return in The Witcher season 3, so this story is likely to inform that one, making it essential viewing.
"Set in an elven world 1200 years before the time of Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri, The Witcher: Blood Origin will tell a tale lost to history," reads The Witcher: Blood Origin's synopsis, "the creation of the first prototype Witcher, and the events that led to the pivotal Conjunction of the Spheres, when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one."
This four-part prequel series is set to premiere on Netflix on December 25. You can check out the trailer and poster below!
