The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf Animated Movie to Tie Into Hit Netflix Series?

First off, a new listing from the Writers Guild of America states that Beau DeMayo, who wrote for The Witcher season 1, is writing a project titled The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. No plot details have been revealed at this time, but it's believed that the movie would be released ahead of the show's second season. It's not clear how far along the development process is at this point, nor is it clear who else might be involved. There is no word on who is directing and there are no plot details available for the time being.

While it's not much information to go on, it would seem to make sense. The Witcher, Netflix claims, has been watched by 76 million customers since its release, making it one of the best debuts ever for one of their original shows. Plus, executive producer Tomek Baginski previously hinted in an interview with IGN Poland that just such a project may be in the cards when he was asked if we could see something animated in that universe down the line.

"I don't want to give away too much here, but who knows if we won't see The Witcher in this style. However these are things I would rather not talk about too much for now."

In a different interview with Telewizja wPolsce, Baginski said they are "planning a few more interesting surprises between seasons but I will not say exactly what will happen." Safe to say, an animated Witcher movie would count as an interesting surprise. One of the big questions is whether or not the core cast, such as Henry Cavill, would reprise their roles for Nightmare of the Wolf. Though, it's hard to imagine Netflix doing something like this with different actors.

Hope it has the main cast of the show voice acting.

The logline: The world of The Witcher expands in this anime film that explores a powerful new threat facing The Continent. The project is from The Witcher series producers Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and Beau DeMayo, along with the Korean animation studio Studio Mir animation studio whose credits include Netflix’s Voltron: Legendary Defender.

No word on a release date for The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, but it could fill the gap between seasons of the series, which is based on the namesake fantasy novels but best known through the bestselling role-playing video game franchise.

"Anime". Now I'm ****ing triggered!

They should adapt the stories from Sword of Destiny that they ignored in the TV show, what with that book being generally regarded as the best in the Witcher franchise by the fans. Something More for instance is a very poignant story which fleshes out Geralt and Dandelion/Jaskier considerably.
