The Secrets of the Silent Witch anime adaptation that was announced last August is set to premiere in 2025, a newly released teaser trailer has revealed. The show has also unveiled a teaser visual and some new cast announcements, though it continues to maintain a few secrets — namely, the production staff (who could be responsible for the enchanting string-backed vocals in the teaser?) and studio.
The newly announced cast members are Hitomi Nabatame as Nero, the cat familiar of the titular Silent Witch, and Junichi Suwabe as Louis Miller the Barrier Mage. It was previously known that Saya Aizawa is playing the Silent Witch Monica Everett.
Secrets of the Silent Witch is based on the light novels written by Matsuri Isora and illustrated by Nanna Fujimi. The KADOKAWA BOOKS series began in June 2021 and will release its ninth main volume on February 10, 2025 JST. Yen Press describes the plot as:
Monica Everett, the Silent Witch, is the only mage in the world who can use unchanted magecraft, a true hero who singlehandedly defeated a legendary black dragon. However, this young genius is actually…super-duper shy! That’s right: She learned to cast spells silently just to avoid speaking in public, and despite her power, she has zero self-confidence. Now Monica has been tasked with secretly guarding the second prince. Can she keep it together as she faces both the evil forces targeting the prince and the terrors of social interaction?
The story was first published as a Shousetsuka ni Narou web novel beginning in February 2020. There is a manga by Tobi Tana.
