Netflix is set to enchant fans once again with the release of "The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep," the latest animated movie in the beloved franchise, premiering 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 poised to make a splash on Netflix on February 11, 2025, as announced by Netflix Tudum. This animated feature draws its inspiration from the short story "A Little Sacrifice" by Andrzej Sapkowski, found in the collection "Sword of Destiny."
The narrative unfolds in a picturesque seaside village embroiled in an ancient conflict between humans and merpeople. This unique setting shifts the focus from typical monsters like Basilisks and Cockatrices to the enchanting yet perilous world of merpeople, with Geralt at the heart of the action.
Dogue Cockle returns to lend his voice to Geralt, while Joey Batey and Anya Chalotra reprise their roles as Jaskier and Yennefer of Vengerberg, respectively. Christina Wren, known from the Will Trent TV series, joins the cast as the voice of Essi Daven, adding a fresh character to the mix.
Andrzej Sapkowski, the creator of the Witcher universe, serves as a creative consultant, ensuring the film stays true to its roots. 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 behind "The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf," takes the director's chair for this venture.
Takes Place During Season 1 of The Witcher’s Live-Adaptation Series
This animated film cleverly slots into the timeline of "The Witcher" series, occurring between episodes 5 and 6 of season 1. Following the events of "Bottled Appetites," where Geralt and Yennefer reunite in Rinde after a Djinn-related adventure, Geralt is commissioned by an unnamed kingdom to tackle a mysterious threat along its coastline.
Given Rinde's location near the shores of Redania and Temeria, the film likely unfolds in this region. Specifically, if adhering to the setting of "A Little Sacrifice," the story might take place in Bremervoord City in Temeria, under the governance of Duke Agloval. Fans eagerly await to see how closely the film will follow the original short story's narrative.
