How 'Nightmare of the Wolf' sets the stage for 'The Witcher' season 2
August 24, 2021 - While Geralt trains Ciri at Kaer Morhen in The Witcher season 2, which is loosely based on Sapkowski's Blood of Elves book, the outside world will see "the Continent's kings, elves, humans, and demons strive for supremacy," per an official description. Since elves, like witches and mages, have extended lifespans, it's still possible that Kitsu and this mysterious child could have some part to play in Geralt's story. Theo James voices Vesemir in 'The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf'.

r/witcher on Reddit: Nightmare of the wolf is better than season 2 of the show
September 11, 2021 -

I enjoyed the animated movie and felt the writing was better thought out than anything in season 2, which is full of contradictions and pointless character arcs i.e the mages, fringilla and cahir etc. The film was able to demonstrate the horrors of the trials to become a Witcher and offered an interesting take on witchers becoming redundant in the world.

I particularly enjoyed Geralts character reveal at the end (the baldness threw me). I think more spinoffs like this would benefit the show massively, as there is little in the way of explaining context in the show.

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf (2021) โญ 7.2 | Animation, Action, Adventure
August 23, 2021 - Sick action, Great animation, Entertaining, Great Soundtrack, And Interesting Characters but weren't fleshed out enough, in fact it felt like there were big gaps in between the story and the story was not fleshed out nearly as much as it should have been which is why this would have worked a lot better as a series, they pretty much crammed an entire season into one movie, which took away the impact from a lot of the scenes and the story in general. Overall enjoyable and entertaining but could have been better. ... Graham McTavish who voiced the role of "Deglan" also plays the live-action role of "Dijkstra" in The Witcher Season 2.

October 19, 2024 - Though The Witcher is well known from CD Projekt REDโ€™s video game trilogy, the Netflix series is based on the eight-book saga of Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. There is a wealth of material within Sapkowskiโ€™s novels and short stories, but Nightmare of the Wolf will not adapt any of them. Instead, Netflix is looking to tell an entirely new story about a beloved character who will be introduced in the showโ€™s upcoming second season: Vesemir.
