That’s about all we know for now, no actors or anything listed yet, just these simple Tweets to pique our interest. Having finished the show and just started playing the games myself, I’m very up for hearing more about the lore of the Continent.

The Witcher: Blood Origins might be a long ways off yet, however. According toRedanian Intelligence, filming for The Witcher’s second series is planned to last until February 2021 after setbacks from the Covid-19 pandemic. I mean, I know nothing about TV production but maybe they’ll film them at the same time to reuse sets? That’s absolutely too optimistic. More likely they haven’t even finished writing the prequel yet.
For now, if you’re after a little bit more expanded Witcher lore,Netflix made a cool interactive timelineso fans can get an idea of what events happened when.
