Sophia Brown To Star In New Netflix Fantasy Series THE WITCHER: BLOOD ORIGIN
Netflix’s upcoming horror/fantasy series The Witcher: Blood Origin has cast Sophia Brown (Clique) alongside Laurence O’Fuarain (Vikings) and Michelle Yeoh (Crazy Rich Asians).
Brown has taken over the role of Éile from Jodi Turner-Smith, who exited the production due to scheduling conflicts.
In Blood Origin, Éile is an elite warrior blessed with the voice of a goddess. She leaves her clan and position as Queen’s guardian to follow her heart as a nomadic musician. A grand reckoning on the Continent forces her to return to the way of the blade, set out for vengeance and redemption.

Shooting of THE WITCHER: BLOOD ORIGIN will get underway in the UK in August.
The six part limited series is a spinoff origin story. Set in an elven world 1200 years before the world of The Witcher, and will chart the creation of the first prototype Witcher. Blood Origin will also reveal the events that lead to the pivotal ‘Conjunction of the Spheres.’ The worlds of monsters, men, and elves will merge to become one, creating the Witcher’s universe.
Declan de Barra will act as executive producer and showrunner for The Witcher: Blood Origin. Andrzej Sapkowski will serve as creative consultant. Additional executive producers include Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, Hivemind’s Jason Brown and Sean Daniel, and Tomek Baginski and Jarek Sawko from Platige Films.
