A lot of shows were covered at the recent Netflix Tudum 2022 — here’s all The Witcher news you need to know

Almost every show we’ve heard of (and many more) were given their moment in the spotlight on Saturday 24 when Netflix held their Tudum 2022. For fans of The Witcher, there were several things of note. For the main show itself, Henry Cavill confirmed a 2023 date for The Witcher season 3, only narrowing it down to summer. There was a lot more to learn about upcoming new show The Witcher: Blood Origin.

The Witcher: Blood Origin news

The main segment began with cast members Laurence O’Fuarain (who plays Fjall) and Sophia Brown (playing Éile) sharing some trivia about their characters. They then revealed some new cast news — Minnie Driver (Grosse Pointe Blank, Will & Grace) will be in the show. Driver didn’t reveal the name of the character she plays, but did describe it as a crucial link between the history of Blood Origin and the future world of The Witcher. If you don’t know, this new series is set in the days of the creation of the first wither, as well as the time of the conjunction of worlds. It all happens more than 1,000 years before Geralt met Cirilla.

The second piece of news was revealed by Michelle Yeoh — The Witcher: Blood Origin will arrive on Netflix December 25. That’s one fewer thing for Santa’s present list!

Here’s the brand new poster with date.
