Netflix is also making a prequel series titled The Witcher: Blood Origin, which will be a six-episode limited series set 1,200 years before the main show. This week it was announced that Star Trek Discovery's Michelle Yeoh and Giri/Haji star Sophia Brown had joined the cast. The Witcher: Blood Origin starts production later this year.
