We chat with TheWitcherBloodOrigin star Mirren Mack about Princess Merwyn's motivations and her own love of TheWitcher franchise before joining the new project:
The Witcher: Blood Origin drops on Netflix this weekend, gifting a peek at the Continent in its heyday for Christmas Day. Taking place over a thousand years before The Witcher proper, the new miniseries serves as a prequel that promises to explain some of the mysteries that have followed Geralt of Rivia and Ciri since the first episode. The kingdom that viewers know as Cintra was once the elven city of Xin’trea, which is how it is introduced in Blood Origin before humans came to the Continent.
Mirren Mack Talks The Witcher: Blood Origin Screen Rant: Merwyn is very much a good-for-her girl. She's battling against the constraints of the patriarchy, and maybe she doesn't always do it the right way, but I support women's wrongs. Can you talk about her journey? She, as many of us would, rebels against that and decides, "No, I am going to be listened to." Because Merwyn thinks that she knows what's best for the world, and is driven to share that.
Mirren Mack: When we were auditioning, it was all code names, actually. I think I was potentially going to be part of Dog Clan at some point. And then the wonderful Declan de Barra, the showrunner, thought, "Oh, I'll change out and see this person read for this instead." The sides and audition pieces were all sort of a mystery.
