Netflix confirmed today that Michelle Yeoh has been cast in the role of Scían in the upcoming series “The Witcher: Blood Origin”.
“Scían is the very last of her nomadic tribe of sword-elves,” writes Netflix. “No one can come close to her artistry with the blade, and no one carries as much loss within their heart. When a chance presents itself to retrieve a stolen sacred sword, taken from her fallen tribe by nefarious means, she launches herself into a deadly quest that will change the outcome of the Continent.”
The series is set in an elven world 1200 years before the world of “The Witcher” and 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.
“Blood Origin” will be a six part, live-action limited series, and a prequel to the hit Netflix series “The Witcher”.
Yeoh joins Laurence O’Fuarain in the cast, who will star in the role of Fjall: Born into a clan of warriors sworn to protect a King, Fjall carries a deep scar within, the death of a loved one who fell in battle trying to save him. A scar that won’t let him settle, or make peace with himself or the world around him. In his quest for redemption, Fjall will find himself fighting beside the most unlikely of allies as he carves a path of vengeance across a continent in turmoil.
Yeoh can soon also be seen in Gunpowder Milkshake, James Cameron’s Avatar sequels, and Marvel’s “Shang-Chi”.
