Those of you who are familiar with The Witcher series will be happy to know that the third installment, Blood Origin, has already been released. However, what does it have in store for us?
Jacob Collins-Levy
Several actors have been cast in the upcoming Netflix series The Witcher: Blood Origin. One of the new cast members is Jacob Collins-Levy, who will play the role of Eredin Breacc Glas. The Witcher: Blood Origin will focus on the creation of the first prototype Witcher. It’s expected to be released in 2022, between the second and third instalments of The Witcher.
Previously, Australian actor Sam Hazeldine played Eredin in season 2 of The Witcher. Collins-Levy’s role will be a bit more substantial than Hazeldine’s. His character is older. This could be a result of time jumps. Hazeldine will only make cameo appearances.
