The Witcher: Blood Origin is out in just two days, giving you a dose of fantasy prequel drama starring Lenny Henry.
Of course, this release is just a few months after The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, a fantasy prequel drama also starring Lenny Henry.
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, the actor spoke about what it's like being on both shows, and how his new role is quite different from what you saw earlier this year.

"I love this idea of being an actor, and you can play... this nice guy who's an elder [Rings of Powers' Sadoc Burrows], who's looking after people, and over here you can play the most evil person in the universe [Blood Origin's Druid Chief Balor]," he explained.
"I think it's to do with acting. It's to do with working with directors, and finding out the way of playing that that isn't the cliched way, where you don't immediately go: 'There's something off with that guy.' He's not going: 'Mwahaha. I kill little puppies too!' He's not doing that.
"He's just a guy who's working for the king, and he happens to be resentful because there's this whole working-class, low-born thing that people don't value in this universe. And he's going to teach them to value it. I think that was a good journey for him.

"The more you can think about the plausible… 'Well, of course he wants his own fort full of gold. He's got to feed his family.' When you can make it plausible and credible, you go: 'Yeah, I get that. WHAT HAS HE DONE NOW?!'"
You'll be able to find out what happens with Lenny's character when The Witcher: Blood Origin drops all episodes in one go in just a few days.
The Witcher seasons 1-2 are now streaming on Netflix. Season 3 is in production, and spin-off The Witcher: Blood Origin premieres on December 25, also on Netflix.
