Netflix revealed today it is working an an animated Witcher project called Nightmare of the Wolf, which will expand on the show/game/book's world and explore "a powerful new threat facing the Continent."

The animated film will come from Witcher showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and producer Beau DeMayo, as well as animation house Studio Mir.
