Announced last month at Witchercon, The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf is an upcoming animated film that is set years before the events of the live-action Witcher series. The movie will follow the story of the Witcher Vesemir, Geralt’s mentor.

The film’s premise is described by Netflix as:

“The world of The Witcher expands in this anime origin story: Before Geralt, there was his mentor Vesemir — a swashbuckling young witcher who escaped a life of poverty to slay monsters for coin. But when a strange new monster begins terrorizing a politically-fraught kingdom, Vesemir finds himself on a frightening adventure that forces him to confront the demons of his past.”

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf will release on Netflix on August 23, 2021.

In related news, we recently got to ask a couple of questions to Witcher showrunner, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, and she shared with us how the upcoming animated film will expand the Witcher lore:
