As you well know, Netflix confirmed earlier this year that in addition to the TV series dedicated to Geralt of Rivia, the company was secretly working on an anime, titled The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, allowing fans of the books to Andrzej Sapkowski to explore the continent again. The new production will be made by the showrunner of the series Lauren S. Hissrich, Beau DeMayo and from the studio behind the "Legend of Korra". Although no trailer for the animated film has been released at the moment, the streaming giant has recently released a short teaser showing us the official logo of the film, confirming that The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2021.
As can be seen from the tweet, which you can conveniently find at the bottom of the article, the logo of the anime set in the universe of The Witcher shows a wolf mask on a total black background, accompanied by a quite threatening backing track. At the moment there is very little information on the new Netflix original production, although the writer Beau DeMayo recently confessed to ComicBook microphones that the anime will be 100% canon, And that it will draw inspiration from events taken from Sapkowski's books, and not from the story told by the videogame counterpart made by the guys from CD Projekt RED. We report his words in detail:
The show is… it's fun because it's a truly unique production. The show is based on books and not games. It was very interesting to explore this perspective, in terms of, we were looking at the books, always looking at the books. There will always be similarities between the two shows, because they all come from the same mothership, basically.
