ITS ORIGIN STORY FEATURES A NAPKIN
Prequel miniseries Blood Origin began life in The Witcher Season 2 writer’s room. The creative team were struggling to get their heads around a piece of lore that author Andrzej Sapkowski never explained in his novels, leaving Blood Origin creator Declan de Barra to sketch out ideas about the so-called Conjunction of the Spheres on a whiteboard. He subsequently returned to the idea months later when a spinoff show became a possibility. “I was sitting in a cafe and it literally all just came to me,” de Barra tells Teasers. “I started scribbling it down on a napkin, and although it’s been through multiple drafts since, the story is essentially the same as it was then.”
