Netflix has just announced that the Henry Cavill-starring The Witcher was one of their biggest hits in their catalogue ( 76 million accounts watched The Witcher in its first four weeks of release), and with the confirmation that Season 2 is coming but not until 2021, fans are already groaning at the wait.

However, it looks like Netflix have already jumped in to fix that problem by giving the go ahead to an anime movie from Korean animation house Studio Mir.

The movie will explore “a powerful new threat facing the Continent” and will be called The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.

It has also confirmed that it will expand the mythology of the live-action series which, presumably, means it is also in the same canon.

Showrunner Lauren Hissrich has said that she has had to keep this movie a secret for a year and is happy that it’s finally out there:

It’s a big day here in #TheWitcher world — and I’ve been keeping this one secret for over a year! https://t.co/9Rp1ftDO0p

Studio Mir brought us the excellent The Legend of Korra and Voltron: Legendary Defender, so it should be in very safe hands.

So, have you seen The Witcher? Are you excited for this? I want to hear your thoughts, gang…
