The Witcher is one of the most streamed and liked series on Netflix. From books to video games and a blockbuster Netflix show, the story has come a long way. Fans of the show loved it when Henry Cavill played Geralt of Rivia, and the show helped him gain a different level of popularity.

The third season of the show will be out soon. While the fans were preparing for it, they got a much bigger shock. While all of this was going on, the show’s creators announced yet another The Rats spinoff. But what is it all about?

What is The Rats spinoff from The Witcher all about?

While the fans were all excited for the first spinoff of the show, The Witcher: Blood Origin, which is releasing in December, they are barely happy with The Rats spinoff news. Moreover, the makers have said that Rats is already in the pre-production stage.

Regarding the plot, it is unclear whether it will be an origin story with a new cast or it will feature Ciri portrayed by Freya Allan.

For those who do not know, the Rats are an infamous group of misfits in the show. Initially, seasons 3 and 4 of the show were going to feature them. But now the showrunners have decided to create their own spinoff.

According to Redanian Intelligence, a main longtime member of The Witcher’s writing team, Haily Hall is the showrunner for The Rats. Yet, Lauren Hissrich is still anticipated to participate, but as an executive producer, similar to Blood Origin, for which Declan de Barra serves as a showrunner.

Coming to the main series, Henry Cavill is leaving the show, and Liam Hemsworth is the one replacing him. Cavill, who himself was a huge fan of the books and the video games, was majorly loved by fans and critics in the role of Geralt of Rivia. When he announced his replacement, fans were angered, and they have been constantly bashing the show makers since then.

Meanwhile, Blood Origins is set to start streaming on Netflix from December 2nd.
