The Witcher: Blood Origin prequel casts Laurence O’Fuarain

March 27, 2021 by Ricky Church

Netflix’s The Witcher: Blood Origin, the prequel to the Henry Cavill-led fantasy series The Witcher, has just cast its second leading role. Deadline reports that Laurence O’Fuarain (Vikings) has joined Jodie Turner-Smith in the upcoming series.

O’Fuarain will play a character named Fjall. His description is: “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.”

Turner-Smith is set to play an elf named Éile, who was blessed with the voice of a goddess. She leaves her clan and role as the queen’s guardian to follow her heart and embark on a journey as a nomadic musician. Though, a tragic event will force her to return to her warrior ways as she embarks on a quest for vengeance and redemption.

This upcoming Netflix six-episode limited series is set 1,200 years before the events of their current series, the Henry Cavill-starring The Witcher. The Witcher: Blood Origin will “tell a story lost to time — the creation of the very first 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.”

The Witcher: Blood Origin will be showrun and executive produced by Declan de Barra with The Witcher‘s Lauren Schmidt Hissrich also serving as an exec producer. Andrzej Sapkowski, who wrote the series of Witcher novels the shows and video games are based off of, will also serve as a consultant on Blood Origin.
