Netflix's Witcher Prequel Casts Lead
It has been reported that Netflix's upcoming The Witcher: Blood Origin has cast Queen & Slim actor Jodie Turner-Smith in a lead role.www.cbr.com
They're trying to build a franchise.Was a prequel necessary? There's only one season and for the most part it did a decent job with the intersecting timelines and as far as I remember Ciri was a kid when they did meet up at the end...
streaming services are desperate for content/IP so if there's even a slight uptick in viewers from something, they'll milk it
they dont look at the content, just the numbers of viewers and the show did a reported 76mil viewers and was the most watched first season at netflix which pretty much guaranteed it a sequel and a prequel soon followed

Already talks of Momoa playing a different Witcher for a movie or other series.
They have more than enough material to expand.One of the pitfalls of using analytics instead of actually stepping back and looking at the actual product itself. Wish that adage of 'less is more' was prevalent - first season was OK but could be improved upon with the sequel.
I'm also not super deep into the Witcher lore but it seemed to me like season 1 was a prequel of sorts. Netflix also has very average/poor quality of content and their consistency for some of their 'better' shows is not that good.
