Netflix Shares Full Cast and Directors For “The Witcher: Blood Origin” Series

Netflix revealed today the full cast and directors behind the upcoming “The Witcher: Blood Origin”, a six-part, live-action limited series, and a prequel to the hit Netflix series “The Witcher”.

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.

Here’s a breakdown of the new additions to the cast:

• Mirren Mack (pictured above in The Nest) in the role of Merwyn
• Lenny Henry (Lord of the Rings series) in the role of Balor
• Jacob Collins Levy (Young Wallander) in the role of Eredin
• Lizzie Annis in the role of Zacaré
• Huw Novelli (The Capture) in the role of Callan “Brother Death”
• Francesca Mills (Harlots) in the role of Meldof
• Amy Murray in the role of Fenrik
• Nathaniel Curtis (It’s a Sin) in the role of Brían
• Zach Wyatt (Karen Pirie) in the role of Syndril
• Dylan Moran (Black Books) in the role of Uthrok One-Nut

The abovementioned cast will join Laurence O’Fuarain (Fjall), Sophia Brown (Éile) and Michelle Yeoh (Scían).

Sarah O’Gorman (Cursed, The Last Kingdom) will direct episodes 101,104 and 106, and Vicky Jewson (Close, Born of War) will direct episodes 102, 103 and 105.

“Blood Origin” began principal photography in August.
