Last year, Netflix announced plans for an anime film which will serve as a prequel to The Witcher, and the first full trailer for Nightmare of the Wolf has now been unveiled along with some new character images.
Specific plot details for Nightmare of the Wolf are still under wraps, but we do know that the story will revolve around a younger take on Geralt's mentor, Vesemir. This experienced witcher was a major supporting character in the books and video games, but this will be the first time his past is explored in any great detail. Vesemir will be played by Kim Bodnia in the upcoming second season of The Wicther.
You can get a first glimpse of young Vesemir below, along with witcher leader Declan, sorceress Tetra Gilcrest, and Kaedwen noblewoman Lady Zerbst.
Vesemir will be voiced by Theo James, Tetra will play Lara Pulver, Deglan will be voiced by Graham McTavish, and BSG alum Mary McDonnell will bring Lady Zerbst to life.
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf is set to premiere on August 23.
