[ad_1]

Netflix has dropped the latest trailer for the animated Witcher prequel, which gives us a better look at the movie’s characters and allows us to hear the voice actors in English for the first time.

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf focuses on the early life of Geralt’s mentor, Vesemir, “a cocky young wizard who takes pleasure in killing monsters for coins,” according to the Netflix feed. Available plot details are poor, but the film includes Wissemer’s confrontation with a “strange new monster” and “demons from his past” in a politically charged kingdom. (So ​​far, The Witcher.)

The film is produced by Korean animation company Studio Mir, which has previously featured a number of anime on Netflix, including Dota: Dragon’s Blood and Voltron: Legendary Defender, as well as shows like The Legend of Korra. The trailer includes a hilarious nod to the popular bathtub meme The Witcher, with Vesemir, instead of Geralt, having a nice soak.

The voice cast includes Theo James as Vesmere, Lara Pulver as Tetra, Graham McTavish as Digglan, and Mary McDonnell as Lady Zerbst. The film was written and produced by Beau DeMayo and co-produced by The Witcher Show and executive producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, with directed by Studio Mir’s Kwang Il Han.

Expect to see more Witcher content from Netflix in the future, with a live show in the works and a second season of the main show, starring Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, arriving December 17. Not surprisingly, The Witcher was the most popular first season on Netflix when it debuted (although Bridgerton has since stolen that record). You tossed a coin to your magician, and Netflix is ​​happy to deliver.
