Netflix teases upcoming anime film 'The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf'

Netflix is expanding on the world of "The Witcher" with an anime film.

Titled "The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf," the film is an origin story of Geralt's mentor Vesemir, a swashbuckling young witcher who escaped a life of poverty to slay monsters for coin.

When a strange new monster begins terrorizing a politically-fraught kingdom, Vesemir finds himself on a frightening adventure that forces him to confront the demons of his past.

Netflix first kicked off the world of "The Witcher" in 2019 with the hit live action series starring Henry Cavill. The second season of the series will premiere on December 17.

"The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf" will premiere on Netflix on August 23. —JCB, GMA News
