"The world of The Witcher expands in this anime origin story:
Before Geralt, there was his mentor Vesemir - a swashbuckling
young witcher who escaped a life of poverty to slay monsters
for coin," says the official synopsis. "But 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..."

In addition to James, The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf will
also feature the voices of Lara Pulver (Sherlock) as Tetra,
Graham McTavish (Outlander) as Deglan, and Mary McDonell 
(Dance with Wolves) as Lady Zerbst. In the books, Vesemir is
the mentor and a father figure for Geralt of Rivia. The story 
will explore his early years as a Witcher after the mysterious
Deglan claims him through the Law of Surprise.

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf is written and produced by
Beau DeMayo. It is also produced by The Witcher showrunner 
Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. The anime film hails from Studio Mir,
the Korean animation studio behind Nickelodeon's Legend of
Korra and Netflix's original anime series Voltron Legendary
Defender.
