The Witcher: Blood Origin creator discusses creating a 'Prototype Witcher' while still trying to satisfy fans.
The Witcher: Blood Origin offers a new take on the idea of a witcher with the introduction of what creator and showrunner Declan de Barra calls a"prototype witcher," a concept that deviates from the source material and explores a previously untouched idea as far as Witcher lore goes.
"We know in the books to a certain point how the witchers were created. The reason we call it Blood Origin is because we're telling the tale of the first prototype of a witcher," de Barra said."This witcher is not the witcher we know who's humanlike and, you know, can take potions and have powers. It's 1.0. But it's the origin of what enables witchers to exist in The Witcher world in Sapkowski's books.
It's wonderful and terrifying at the same time because you want to pay homage to the books and the lore and satisfy all of those fans," he continued."But also, you want to create a whole story that exists, that would be worthy of a Sapkowski book, that lives on television and is self contained. And getting to build that world and explain how everything came to be with The Witcher, it's just, that's like a golden opportunity, couldn't get better than that.
