Netflix announced the development of an anime spin-off film to Henry Cavill’s The Witcher titled The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.
Over a month before Henry Cavill’s The Witcher debuted on Netflix, the streaming service had already renewed the series for a second season. Now, Netflix is set to expand The Witcher universe with an anime film that “explores a powerful new threat facing the Continent.”
The anime film will come from acclaimed Korean animation studio Studio Mir, best known for The Legend of Korra and Netflix’s Voltron: Legendary Defender. Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, who serves as the showrunner of the Henry Cavill’s The Witcher, and producer Beau DeMayo are also behind the anime film.
