With Netflix being a powerhouse of streaming content, original shows, and media beloved by many, new releases cause a major stir. As the Netflix original series, The Witcher grew in popularity, so did the desire for more content related to the series. Though it was heartbreaking to hear that lead Henry Cavill would not reappear for The Witcher’s fourth season, the release of Blood Origin seems to have fans excited and interested.

According to Robert Bachhuber of earlygame.com, Blood Origin is set to be released on December 25, 2022, set 1,200 years before the events of The Witcher. On top of the upcoming release date, the weight of the newest series carries the realization of the loss of the former main star. Luckily, Bachhuber spoke highly of the trailer.

With over one million views and counting on YouTube, the official trailer hints at intricate character building, plenty of action, and the promise of its primary characters banding together to face off against “an unstoppable empire.” One part of this empire to be dealt with is that of a powerful beast. With so much promised in the trailer, commenters are pointing out moments that left them speechless, brought to tears, and inspired.

Though there are still fans sour about the departure of Henry Cavill and the show straying from its source material, hope is not lost. According to CBR.com, fans of The Witcher will be treated to a “few familiar faces.” Showrunner Declan de Barra confirmed the upcoming show will include a younger Avallac'h: the mysterious elven sage embroiled in Ciri's destiny.

While it’s unknown who will portray him, The Witcher: Blood Origin has the potential to exceed and subvert expectations. Come Christmas Day, viewers will embark on a new adventure.
