Jodie Turner-Smith Exits ‘The Witcher: Blood Origin’ Netflix Limited Series Due To Scheduling Issue

Jodie Turner-Smith has departed Netflix’s six-part, live-action limited series The Witcher: Blood Origin. She was to play a lead, Éile, in the prequel to the streamer’s hit series The Witcher.

“Due to a change in the production schedule for The Witcher: Blood Origin limited series, unfortunately Jodie Turner-Smith will no longer be able to continue on in the role of Éile,” a Netflix spokesperson said in a statement to Deadline.

I hear the start of production for The Witcher: Blood Origin was pushed slightly, creating a scheduling conflict for the in-demand British actress.

The role of Éile, which will now be recast, is an elite warrior blessed with the voice of a goddess, who has left her clan and position as Queen’s guardian to follow her heart as a nomadic musician. A grand reckoning on the continent forces her to return to the way of the blade in her quest for vengeance and redemption.

The Witcher Season 3 Scripts Are Almost Done Says Showrunner

While fans of Netflix’s The Witcher are enjoying the recently released second season of the series, the crew behind the series are already getting prepared for what’s coming next.

Speaking to TechRadar, showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich confirmed that the scripts for the third season were almost done, but that the rest of the process had only just begun.

“Actually, this is our last week [December 3] in the writers’ room,” Hissrich said of The Witcher Season 3. “We’re almost done with the scripting phase, and it’s amazing. I’m really thrilled with how the season is shaping up because it’s based on my favorite book in the saga, which is The Time of Contempt.”

Hissrich went on to say that the first two seasons of the series have felt like the team just setting up for everything that’s to come in The Witcher Season 3. However, they still have a long way to go when it comes to finishing things up.

“I feel like seasons 1 and 2 have been laying the playing field for everything huge that’s about to happen,” Hissrich said. “But the creative process is now really just starting. We have the scripts, and now we’ll bring directors on, the actors back in, and really start delving in deeper and reflecting back and making sure that it’s the perfect season.”

Netflix’s The Witcher Season 3 Has Started Filming

Because of pandemic related delays, there were two years between The Witcher season 1 and season 2. Thankfully, it may not take as long for The Witcher season 3 to arrive. Netflix has announced that the third season of The Witcher is already in production

Additionally, Netflix released a synopsis for the new season:

“As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it.

Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where she hopes to discover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line — or risk losing each other forever.”

Netflix has not set a date for The Witcher season 3. But since production is already underway, an early 2023 debut is not out of the question.

‘The Witcher’ Season 4 Recasts Geralt of Rivia With Liam Hemsworth, Henry Cavill to Exit Series

“The Witcher” has been renewed for a fourth season by Netflix, though the hit fantasy series will be missing one familiar face. Henry Cavill will exit the production after the upcoming third season debuts, with Liam Hemsworth set to take over the lead role of Geralt of Rivia.

The streamer announced the renewal and casting news on Saturday afternoon, with both Hemsworth and Cavill also releasing statements. Reading into the tone of both statements, the decision seems to be an amicable passing of the torch.

Cavill has starred as the monster hunter Geralt on “The Witcher” since the Netflix series debuted in Dec. 2019. The show’s upcoming third season, which has set a release window of Summer 2023, will now be the actor’s last with the series.

According to the outlet’s sources, Cavill had only committed to a short-term deal with Netflix.
