    By now, I'm sure you've heard of Netflix's latest fantasy series, The Witcher.

    And if you haven't, WATCH IT NOW!!!

    It's based on the book series of the same name and follows the intertwined adventures of Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill), Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra) and Ciri, the princess of Cintra (Freya Allan).

    There's also a bunch of video games based on the book, as well — but they're looser adaptations of the novel when compared to the TV show.

    Besides being one of Netflix's most popular shows in 2019, the series has gained a lot of buzz for its soundtrack, fight scenes and, well, Henry Cavill's GIGANTIC arms.

    They look like they could crush watermelons and I'm, like, into that. Seriously though, watch his workout regime — it's so interesting to see what it takes to get a human body to look like this.

    So, it makes complete sense that Netflix has decided to expand on the storyline by creating an animated film.

    There's no release date as of yet, but Netflix confirmed that it'll be called The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf and that it'll focus on a new threat to the Continent.

    The rumors are true, a new Witcher story is in the works! The anime film, The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, will take us back to a new threat facing the Continent. Brought to you by the Witcher team @LHissrich and @BeauDeMayo, and Studio Mir the studio behind Legend of Korra.

    And if you're worried about Netflix massacring your new fave TV show, both The Witcher team and the Studio Mir — aka the geniuses behind The Legend Of Korra — will be involved.

    I still stand by my opinion that the storyline of Avatar: The Last Airbender is better than Korra, but in terms of animation, they both blew it out of the park.

    Which means that the storyline and fight scenes are bound to be out of this world good.

    Netflix

    If you're still doubtful, watch any of the battle scenes from The Legend Of Korra.

    Until then, guess I'll be listening to "Toss A Coin To Your Witcher" on repeat.

    And here's hoping they'll get the actors to voice the characters in the animated counterpart!
