Vesemir is a Witcher and the person who mentored Geralt during his training. He is a friend and ally to both Geralt and Ciri, and Nightmare of the Wolf will explore his story.

In 2020 Netflix announced that it was working on an animated movie starring Vesemir, Geralt's Witcher mentor and friend. Netflix Animation is co-producing the film alongside Studio Mir, the team that worked on shows like Dota: Dragon's Blood and Legend of Korra.
