According to Redanian Intelligence reports , Jaskier, played by Joey Batey, will return in the series The Witcher: Blood Lineage . Considering that the production will be a prequel set hundreds of years before the events known even from Andrzej Sapkowski’s books, the appearance of the bard is rather problematic. Fortunately, this point has probably already been resolved. Geralt’s friend is supposed to be a kind of narrator. In one of his ballads, Dandelion tells a story from the old days. He is interrupted by a mysterious elf who claims that the events really turned out differently.
The action of the new picture will take place 1,200 years before the stories told so far. He will tell about the creation of the first witcher, as well as how the worlds of humans, elves and monsters were joined.
The series features Sophia Brown, Michelle Yeoh, Laurence O’Fuarain, Mirren Mack, Lenny Henry, Jacob Collins-Levy, Lizzie Annis, Huwa Novelli, Francesca Mills, Amy Murray, Nathaniel Curtis, Zach Wyatt and Dylan Moran. The production shorunner is Declan de Barra. He will also act as an executive producer together with, inter alia, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, Tomek Bagiński and Jarek Sawko.
The Witcher: Blood Lineage has no release date yet.
