With Netflix heading to CCXP 2022 in Brazil this weekend, viewers were given the heads-up on Friday that a trailer was on the way for showrunner & EP Declan de Barra‘s Laurence O’Fuarain, Sophia Brown & Michelle Yeoh-starring prequel series, The Witcher: Blood Origin. And that’s exactly what viewers received on Saturday, with the prequel series offering its best look yet at the epic grandeur of the adventures ahead.

With the four-part prequel series set to hit streaming screens on December 25th, here’s a look at the official trailer for Netflix’s The Witcher: Blood Origin:

And here’s a look back at the two previously released teasers/previews for the prequel series:

Joining O’Fuarain, Brown, and Yeoh are Sir Lenny Henry (“Lord of the Rings” Series) as Balor, Mirren Mack (The Nest) as Merwyn, Nathaniel Curtis (It’s A Sin) as Brían, and Dylan Moran (Black Books) as Uthrok One-Nut.

Set in an elven world 1200 years before the world of the original Netflix series, 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 worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one. Declan de Barra will executive produce and serve as showrunner, with The Witcher showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and Matt O’Toole also executive producing. Andrzej Sapkowski will serve as the creative consultant on the series. Jason Brown and Sean Daniel from Hivemind; Tomek Baginski and Jarek Sawko from Platige Films will all serve as executive producers. With production underway in the UK, Sarah O’Gorman (Cursed) is set to direct episodes 101,104, and 106; and Vicky Jewson (Close) will direct episodes 102, 103, and 105.
