Is ‘The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf’ As Horny as ‘The Witcher’?

The Witcher Season 2 won’t arrive on Netflix until December, but hardcore fans can tide themselves over with a brand new animated feature called The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. The R-rated film takes us back to the golden years of the Witchers, most notably the legendary Vesemir (voiced by Theo James). Hardcore Witcher fans will know that Vesemir will go on to mentor and raise none other than Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill). However mysteries abound. Who was Vesemir in his youth and what happened at the Battle of Kaer Morhen?

All of that will be answered in Netflix’s new film The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, but before you watch it, you might have another question: is The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf as sexy as The Witcher Season 1 was? Will there be hot men in bath tubs, sexy ladies, hookups, and nudity? Yes, this is The Witcher, baby! But will it be as hot and steamy as the Henry Cavill show? Well, that all depends on your definition of sexy…

Here’s everything you need to know about the sex and nudity quotient in The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf…

Is There Nudity in The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf?

You bet! Much like his mentee Geralt, Vesemir likes to get wet. In the bathtub, specifically. Early on in the film, Vesemir is seen bathing in a barrel and then he exits the bath. We get full butt nudity and a tease of something more (but not full frontal, you pervs!).

Later, in a flashback, we see a possessed woman rip her shirt off revealing her boobs.

Now if that doesn’t exactly sound sensual to you, you may be wondering…is there any sex in Nightmare of the Wolf?

Is There Sex in The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf?

Eh…not really? I mean, the film cares way more about blood and gore, darkness and vengeance than Vesemir getting his rocks off. There are obviously allusions to sex in the story, but very little of the orgies or sex scenes that were a hallmark of The Witcher when it premiered on Netflix.

That said, that doesn’t mean The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf isn’t sexy in its own way…

Is The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf Sexy?

You might be thinking that the fact that there’s not a lot of sex in The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf means the film can’t possibly be sexy. And you would be wrong.

Theo James gives young Vesemir a swashbuckling vibe that is nothing short of crush-worty and Lara Pulver lends her trademark purr to a tightly corseted lady and sorceress. And if that’s not enough, a tale of tragic, star-crossed lovers lies in the heart of the story. I’d say more about this, but spoilers!

So The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf may not have orgies or random naked people in the background, but it’s not short on nudity or sensuality.

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf premieres tomorrow, Friday, August 20 on Netflix.
