Michelle Yeoh will be entering the universe of The Witcher as she stars in the new prequel series Blood Origin.
The 60-year-old acting icon, who is experiencing a career renaissance in English-language media after her roles in Crazy Rich Asians and Everything Everywhere All At Once, takes the lead role in the prequel show as Scian, who is described as a sword–elf.
She leads the first teaser trailer for the upcoming Netflix four-part limited series, which was released on Thursday, just under two weeks after it was announced that Liam Hemsworth would be replacing original star Henry Cavill in the main Witcher series.

Both she and Scian are then seen on quests with others following them.
