The Witcher: Blood Origin will be a new spin-off of the franchise, which as we’ve reported before, will cover a period 1200 years in the psat, at the time of the first witcher ever created. Currently we knew about Laurence O’Fuarain, Sophia Brown and Michelle Yeoh having joined the project, playing Fjall, Éile and Scían, respectively. Now that principal photography has begun earlier this month, it’s time to meet some of the new cast joining, and who they will be playing.
