What to Know

Critics Consensus

A shallow excavation of ancient lore from Andrzej Sapkowski's fantasy series, Blood Origin shares ancestral DNA with The Witcher but little of what makes the mothership series memorable.

Nick Schager The Daily Beast Worse, though, is its consuming, crushing lack of imagination, its action indulging in fantasy clichés with almost belligerent zeal. Only completists need tune in. Jan 30, 2023 Full Review Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) Creakily-assembled and fuelled largely by silliness, Blood Origin is for devoted Witcher watchers alone. Rated: 2/5 Dec 30, 2022 Full Review Craig Mathieson Sydney Morning Herald A modestly enjoyable grab-bag of fluid action sequences, Middle Earth memories, and goofy gambits. Yeoh leads the way with a welcome gravitas, and six episodes of this origin tale is a thankfully succinct length. Rated: 3/5 Dec 29, 2022 Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu Not camp enough to be fun or even watchable. Oct 4, 2023 Full Review Ilan Preskovsky Channel24 (South Africa) The whole thing subtracts rather than adds to the world of The Witcher. It's pretty much everything that can go wrong with a prequel in one four-hour-long package. Rated: 1/5 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Mónica Marie Zorrilla Inverse The Witcher: Blood Origin is a dissatisfying prequel that foreshadows a disastrous future for the Netflix franchise.
