The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf Official Trailer Released
8/9/2021 10:31 am
We’re two weeks away from getting the new Witcher prequel film, Nightmare of the Wolf, and today Netflix released a new trailer and a poster to show us another glimpse as to what we can expect. Vesemir’s tale in the movie will include flashbacks to his childhood before becoming a witcher, where we can see that the driving force for him becoming a witcher is to never be afraid again. As an adult, the witchers are as loathed as ever, and the only purpose they serve is to get rid of the worst monsters out there, something that even in the Witcher’s 1st season we saw a lot of. Check out the poster and trailer below:
Everything You Need to Know for Nightmare of the Wolf

We’re a little over a month away from The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf dropping on Netflix, and this morning we were gifted with a lot of new information, so let’s dive in. First up is the trailer, which is an action-packed look at Vesemir’s origins as a Witcher. We start with a voice over reading a description of witchers - they are rogues, without virtue, as well as killing machines, and not fit to be amongst honest men. But that seems to be just what Vesemir wants, if his grin and comment of “Fear and ignorance are good for business” is any indication.
The trailer shows a bunch of snippets detailing both action shots with some comedic moments, monsters galore and magic. The tagline of: Face Your Demons is seen and we are treated to the logo for the movie of the wolf skull.
Also released today was more information on the cast and the characters, with a gallery for each of them. Theo James will play Vesemir whose character:
Grew up as a servant on a nobleman’s estate, working long days for too little coin. He yearns to break free of his social standing and to explore the Continent to find his destiny.
Lara Pulver is playing Tetra Gilcrest, and is described as:
A powerful sorceress who is descended from one of the Continent’s first mages, and believes magic connects all things of beauty. She and her followers work to keep peace on the Continent by ensuring that magic is not abused.
Mary McDonnell is Lady Zerbst and her character is described as:
A Kaedwen noblewoman who inherited her husband’s seat on the king’s advisory council after his death. She has since risen to become one of the king’s most trusted advisors, and a fierce supporter of the witchers.
Graham McTavish, who will also be playing Dijkstra in Season 2 of The Witcher, is here as Deglan, who was:
Raised on the harsh, unforgiving Skellige Isles and is the hardened warrior-leader of the witchers. He is fiercely loyal to his “boys,” and committed to doing whatever is necessary to protect them.
That is definitely a bunch of new information, and it makes us excited to see what will be coming for us on August 23rd!
