The Witcher has taken Netflix by storm, with the live action series starring Henry Cavill as the titular Geralt, becoming one of the most popular live action series produced by the streaming service to date. With the first season having wrapped and a second season already confirmed by Cavill himself, Netflix is looking to expand on the world of the Witcher with a brand new anime series! Having already made its mark on video games and live action television, it’s clear that there’s a big fan base for this world of sorcery and monsters and said fans are letting their thoughts ring out across social media with this announcement!
Witcher: The Nightmare Of The Wolf doesn’t have too many details out so far, but that isn’t stopping fans of Geralt and company from letting their fandom flags fly!

The official description for the series reads as such:
“Based on the best-selling fantasy series, The Witcher is an epic tale of fate and family. Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. But when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent together.”
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf does not currently have an announced release date. The first eight-episode season of Netflix’s live-action The Witcher is available to stream on the platform now. It has already been renewed for a second season. Lauren S. Hissrich serves as showrunner. It stars Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, and Freya Allan as Ciri.

Not Everyone Is Thrilled
I have no interest in an anime version of The Witcher, @netflix. And if I have to watch one to fill in gaps for the second live-action season, then I’ll just skip both. #isaidgoodday

For Some, More Exciting Than The Show
A Witcher anime movie is a lot more exciting to me than the show.
