The Witcher: Blood Origin Recasts Sophia Brown In Lead Role
The upcoming Netflix Witcher prequel series, The Witcher: Blood Origin recently picked up Michelle Yeoh as an elegant Elven warrior, though the show had previously lost one previous actress in the role of a character named Éile. Jodie Turner-Smith originally received the part, but the actress notably had to leave the project back in April due to scheduling issues. Now, the character has been recast with a new actress in Sohpia Brown.
A recent Tweet describes Éile as “an elite warrior with the voice of a goddess” who turned in her swords for the life of a nomadic musician. Unfortunately, after unforeseen events mark a grand reckoning the traveling minstrel’s newfound profession must be traded in for the way of the blade once more. Sophia Brown’s Éile will travel the Continent on a quest for vengeance and redemption in The Witcher: Blood Origin, though like the other two characters that have been cast so far, it’s difficult to say just how they’ll connect.
