10 Upcoming TV Shows NOBODY Asked For
5. The Witcher: Blood Origin
Despite The Witcher being barely two seasons in, Netflix already have a prequel series in the works, which is said to be set over 1000 years before the mainline show in a bid to explore the creation and struggles of the first Witcher.
Though The Witcher, headlined by a rarely-better Henry Cavill, has been one of Netflix's most popular properties of late, it's hard to hear about Blood Origin without groaning at the streaming service's continued insistence on turning everything into a franchise without any time to let things breathe on their own.
Yes, the prospect of seeing Michelle Yeoh kick all kinds of ass in a fantasy epic has its obvious appeals, but there's no denying the show feels both rushed out and unearned, considering The Witcher itself only has sixteen episodes to its name.
In a world dominated by an endless stream of franchises, people were perfectly happy enjoying The Witcher as it was. Blood Origin just feels too soon, really.
