Netflix is set to captivate fans with its latest addition to The Witcher universe: an animated movie titled "The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep." Scheduled for release on February 11, 2025, this spinoff promises to bring the beloved characters to life in a new, visually stunning format. Based on the short story "A Little Sacrifice" from Andrzej Sapkowski's "Sword of Destiny," the film will explore a centuries-old conflict between humans and merpeople, offering a fresh narrative within the Witcher saga.

Set in a Seaside Village in the Continent

"The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep" is set to debut on Netflix, as announced by Netflix Tudum, the platform's official news site. The film unfolds in a seaside village on the Continent, where a kingdom faces a unique challenge. Unlike the usual encounters with monsters like Basilisks and Cockatrices, this time, Geralt of Rivia will confront merpeople. This setting promises a thrilling new adventure for fans of the series.

Returning to voice the iconic characters are Doug Cockle as Geralt, Joey Batey as Jaskier, and Anya Chalotra as Yennefer of Vengerberg. Christina Wren, known from the Will Trent TV series, will lend her voice to the new character Essi Daven. The original author, Andrzej Sapkowski, serves as a creative consultant, ensuring the film stays true to its roots. The script is penned by Mike Ostrowski and Rae Benjamin, writers from the live-action series, with Kang Hei Chul, storyboard artist of "The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf," directing this animated venture.

Takes Place During Season 1 of The Witcher’s Live-Adaptation Series

"The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep" is strategically placed within the timeline of the live-action series, occurring between episodes 5 and 6 of Season 1. Following the events of "Bottled Appetites," where Geralt and Yennefer meet at Rinde after freeing a Djinn, Geralt is summoned by a yet-unnamed kingdom to tackle a monster-related issue at its shores. The film's setting is likely near the coastlines of Redania and Temeria, potentially in Bremervoord City in Temeria, ruled by Duke Agloval, as hinted in "A Little Sacrifice." Fans are eager to see how closely the movie will adhere to the original short story's setting and plot.

Get ready for an immersive experience as "The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep" dives into the rich lore of the Continent, promising adventure, intrigue, and the iconic characters fans have come to love. Mark your calendars for February 11, 2025, and prepare to embark on a new journey with Geralt and his companions.
