CDPR is set to continue theWitchergame series with a handful of still-in-development projects.
In more recent years,The Witcherhas extended beyond books and video games, with Netflix producing a live-action series that will reportedly release its fourth season in 2025. Just like the games that helped pave the way for it,the live-actionWitchershowhas spawned several spin-offs in the form of the animated prequel movieNightmare of the Wolf, a four-episode live-action miniseries titledThe Witcher: Blood Origin, and an upcoming second animated film calledThe Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, which will be released on Netflix on July 06, 2025.

What exactly these projects are remains unspecified in the job listing, but its emphasis on experience in writing film scripts seems to suggest that CDPR could be planning to use its in-house talents to produce a movie for one of its big IPs. Assuming this is the case, the potential movie in question could besome sort of tie-in forThe WitcherorCyberpunk, as both properties have major projects in the works.The Witcherin particular is seeing more follow-ups, withThe Witcher 4reportedly serving as the start of a brand-new trilogy of games.
This movie could be live-action or animated, a prequel detailing one of Geralt of Rivia’s many monster-slaying adventures, or a sequel following Ciri or another major character in theWitcheruniverse. CD Projekt Red has seensuccess in the past with 2022’sCyberpunk: Edgerunners, and if this latest job listing is any indication, the studio could be aiming to replicate this with its even biggerWitcherfranchise.
