Waterford's Declan de Barra to executive-produce prequel series for Netflix hit 'The Witcher'
A Waterford film-maker and producer is set to take the reins of a new series in a hit Netflix franchise. The Witcher: Blood Origin, a limited series that comprises part of The Witcher fantasy-fiction 'universe' of books, television and videogames, sees Déise man Declan de Barra installed as executive producer and showrunner.
Set in an elven world, 1200 years before the world of The Witcher, Blood Origin will tell a story lost to time - the origin of the very first Witcher, and the events that lead to the series' pivotal “conjunction of the spheres,” when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one.
