How to watch The Witcher: Blood Origin – Netflix is building out The Witcher universe with a new prequel called Blood Origin. It’ll be available to stream at home over Christmas. Here’s how.

The Witcher has proved to be one of Netflix’ most successful series of recent years and is a rare video game property that doesn’t seem to result in absolute travesty, when adapted for the small or the large screen.

Now, the streaming giant is going back in time for a prequel that spans 1,200 years before the events of the The Witcher. It’s a hugely anticipated limited series and is bound to be one of the most watched streaming shows over the festive period.

There’ll be no Harry Cavill, naturally, as it’s set way in the past and the man formerly known as Superman is also leaving The Witcher franchise after Season 3. Instead, there’ll be a new cast of characters to get to know, with Sophia Brown, Laurence O’Fuarain, and Michelle Yeoh in the starring roles

Here’s how to watch The Witcher: Blood Origin online from the comfort of your home (with an optional glass of mulled wine).
