The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf Anime Trailer Breakdown

You'll have to wait until December 17 to watch Season 2 of The Witcher, but Netflix will tide you over until then with The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, which releases on August 23. The anime movie introduces Geralt's mentor and adoptive father, Vesemir, who will be voiced by Theo James. (Kim Bodnia will also play the character in the live-action show.) But first, we're going to break down the Witcher anime trailer!

While Vesemir is a grey-haired veteran by Geralt's time, in this film he's a young and dashing swashbuckler earning his fortune by slaying monsters... But he's forced to confront his past and a monster that's preying on a kingdom already dealing with political discord.

With the first teaser trailer for The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf now out, let's dig into what adventures await us in this latest installment of The Witcher franchise, which was written by Beau DeMayo and directed by Kwang Il Han of Studio Mir, the animators of The Legend of Korra and Young Justice: Outsiders.

In this Witcher anime trailer breakdown you'll find all the clues, Easter eggs, and references we discovered regarding this prequel to the Henry Cavill show!
