The six episodes of The Witcher will reveal the most important events in the story. We will get to see the Conjunction of the Spheres that joined the world of humans, elves and monsters into one. Because of these turn of events, the first Witcher gets created.
The first Witcher got created in secret and the ritual was very painful. It gets the term the Trial of the Grasses. But the people who survive the ritual gained good reflexes, speed, agility and they also became the monster slayers.

The characters in the series also live for a long time so we may get to see some well-known characters in the prequel too. Moreover, the world of the elves will also take the main stage.
Who are the cast members?
There is no information regarding the cast details however, there is a rumour of Jason Momoa being cast as The Witcher. He has done a great job as a mythical character in Game of Thrones. Then he also played as a strong superhero in Aquaman. So he is the perfect man for the role.
Momoa has shared fan art of himself and Henry Cavill in the costume of Witcher. So he is actually interested in the role. Netflix is also talking with him to cast him in the main role. But we have to wait for the official information from the Witcher team.
Conclusion
The Witcher: Blood Origins is going to be a grand mythical series. There are going to be double the amount of monsters, elves and other creatures.
