Get ready for an exciting addition to The Witcher universe! Netflix is set to release a new animated movie, The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, on February 11, 2025. Dive into the details of this highly anticipated film!
The Witcher's Newest Spinoff Animated Movie
Set in a Seaside Village in the Continent
The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on February 11, 2025, as announced by Netflix Tudum. This animated feature draws its inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski's short story, "A Little Sacrifice," featured in the collection Sword of Destiny.
The story unfolds in a picturesque seaside village, where a centuries-old feud between humans and merpeople has escalated, prompting a kingdom from the Continent to enlist the help of a Witcher. In a departure from the usual adversaries like Basilisks and Cockatrices, Geralt will face off against merpeople in this thrilling narrative.
Dogue Cockle returns to voice the iconic Geralt, with Joey Batey and Anya Chalotra reprising their roles as Jaskier and Yennefer of Vengerberg, respectively. Christina Wren, known from the Will Trent TV series, joins the cast to voice a new character, Essi Daven.
Andrzej Sapkowski, the mastermind behind The Witcher novels, serves as a creative consultant for the film. The screenplay is penned by Mike Ostrowski and Rae Benjamin, who have also contributed to the live-action series. Kang Hei Chul, the storyboard artist from The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, directs this captivating new installment.
Takes Place During Season 1 of The Witcher’s Live-Adaptation Series
Sirens of the Deep is set between episodes 5 and 6 of The Witcher's first season. Following the events of episode 5, "Bottled Appetites," where Geralt and Yennefer reunite in Rinde after freeing a Djinn, Geralt is commissioned by a mysterious kingdom to tackle a monster-related issue along its shores.
Given Rinde's proximity to the coastlines of Redania and Temeria, the film's setting is likely to be in this region. Specifically, if it adheres closely to the setting of "A Little Sacrifice," the action might unfold in Bremervoord City in Temeria, ruled by Duke Agloval. As the release date approaches, fans will discover whether the film stays true to the original short story's setting and plot.
