Earlier today, Netflix pulled back the curtain on The Witcher: Blood Origin, a new spin-off series that takes place 1200 years prior to the current show. While The Witcher has proven to be a massive success for the streaming service, it seems that fans are a bit more cautious in their interest in the spin-off. Thus far, reception is a bit reserved. While fans are excited for Henry Cavill to return in the next season of the series, the actor’s absence in the prequel will make the show a tougher sell, for some. It will be interesting to see what reception will be when The Witcher: Blood Origin premieres on Netflix!

There’s definitely some enthusiasm!
Netflix is making a prequel mini series to The Witcher, LFG

Others are skeptical about the concept, however.
That being said, I’m not at all against the “first witcher” idea I’m just not really interested??

Like I don’t really see anything to pull me in?
But who knows what’ll happen 🤷
Origin stories can be a tough sell…
TV and movies are so afraid of just throwing their audience into a new world that they obsess over the “origin” story. The Witcher on Netflix is a prime example of that. 1 season for origin stories, another season for the origin of the origin stories.

…but others are excited to see how the world came to be.
Love the @NXOnNetflix announcement of The Witcher: Blood Origins. I’ve never read the books so I’m excited to see how The Witcher universe came to be!

Some might need the prequel.
The Witcher is getting a prequel but I still don’t understand the storyline 🙃

Lack of Geralt definitely seems to be a dealbreaker, for some.
Is having a Witcher show without Geralt really a Witcher show?

No Cavill, no watch.
Witcher without Cavill? Eh, pass.

The announcement definitely came as a surprise!
Interesting, I was not expecting another Witcher show, and certainly not this soon in the prime show’s run.

I am surprised and intrigued. https://t.co/0eoX8eZKl0
