The animated television adaptation of the terrifying horror comic Wytches gets a release window and a production update. Originally running as a six-issue limited comic series from October 2014 to March 2015, Wytches tells a horror story of a teenage girl who moves to a new town and encounters strange beings. It's written by Scott Snyder, with illustrations by the artist known as Jock.

Now, after Prime Video announced an animated adaption of Wytches in February 2023, Snyder has offered an update.

The writer shares that the show will premiere in 2025, adding: “Just finished the first draft [of] the season 1 finale of the Wytches animated series for Amazon.”

What To Know About Wytches

It's not the first adaptation attempt.

The horror comic follows the Rook family, with a specific focus on the teenage daughter Sailor. The family moves to New Hampshire, to the town of Litchfield, after an incident involving Sailor and a cruel school bully named Anne. After this incident, Anne went missing and there were rumors that Sailor killed her. These rumors are what prompted the move. The rumors persist nonetheless, but there's something more troubling.

The family is mostly unaware that the town of Litchfield is home to its share of supernatural secrets. In particular, there's a tradition where a person will pledge another to strange beings known as wytches. This pledge occurs in a nearby forest, with the goal being to gain some sort of personal advantage. Sailor is captured and eventually pledged.

The comic was once acquired with plans to make a feature film. Back in 2014, Wytches was looked at by Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainment production company for a possible big screen adaptation. The project from Plan B, behind recent movies like Bob Marley: One Love and David Fincher's The Killer, never materialized. But it sounds like the animated version is well on track.
