Because "The Witcher: Blood Origin" takes place centuries before the events of "The Witcher," fans probably shouldn't expect to see their favorite characters from the adventures of Geralt in the prequel mini-series. Unless, of course, that character is Jaskier (Joey Batey) because he's been given a role in "Blood Origin" that connects the two series through more than just the conjunction of the spheres. Jaskier is a bard, a traveling musician who spreads the world's news through song. His jaunty "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher" became a hit both in our world and that of the show, where it became a TikTok and YouTube phenomenon. So how exactly is Jaskier in the prequel, and why did the series creators decide to include him?

Jaskier should be back and up to his usual sassy nonsense in season 3 of "The Witcher," but his role in "The Witcher: Blood Origin" is a little different.
