Netflix's Animated Witcher Movie: Sirens of the Deep - A February Premiere
Mark your calendars! Netflix is unleashing its next Witcher animated adventure, The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, on February 11, 2025. Get ready to dive into this exciting new chapter!
A Coastal Conflict in the Witcher Universe
Based on Andrzej Sapkowski's short story, "A Little Sacrifice," from Sword of Destiny, Sirens of the Deep plunges viewers into a coastal village where a centuries-old conflict between humans and merfolk has erupted. A Witcher is called upon to resolve the crisis, leading Geralt into a battle unlike any he's faced before. Forget the usual monsters; this time, it's merpeople!
Familiar Voices, New Faces
Dogue Cockle returns as the voice of Geralt, joined by Joey Batey as Jaskier and Anya Chalotra as Yennefer. A new character, Essi Daven, voiced by Christina Wren (Will Trent), will add another layer to the story.
Behind the Scenes
Andrzej Sapkowski himself acts as a creative consultant, ensuring the film stays true to the spirit of his work. The screenplay is penned by Mike Ostrowski and Rae Benjamin, writers from the live-action series, and directed by Kang Hei Chul, the storyboard artist behind The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.
A Season 1 Interlude
The film's timeline fits neatly between episodes 5 and 6 of the first season of the live-action series. Following Geralt and Yennefer's reunion after the Djinn incident, the story unfolds as Geralt tackles a new challenge. While the location is hinted at, the exact setting remains shrouded in mystery, leaving fans to speculate whether it will precisely follow the events of the original short story.
