Geralt of Rivia's voice, familiar to fans of the Witcher games, returns in Netflix's latest animated offering, "Sirens of the Deep." This animated film, a spin-off within the Netflix Witcher universe, unfolds during the events of Season 1 of the live-action series, featuring Doug Cockle reprising his iconic role.
IGN's Jarrod Jones, in his review, notes that while the pairing of Cockle's Geralt and Joey Batey's Jaskier holds appeal, its charm may be primarily felt by dedicated Witcher fans. Regardless, it might serve as a satisfying interim experience before the release of Witcher 4.

0See it at AmazonThe Witcher universe originates from Andrzej Sapkowski's novels. "Sirens of the Deep" adapts the short story "A Little Sacrifice" from the second book, chronologically fitting between episodes 5 and 6 of Netflix's Season 1. The official synopsis:
Tasked with investigating attacks on a coastal village, the mutant monster hunter Geralt uncovers an ancient conflict between humans and sea dwellers, threatening inter-kingdom war. With the aid of allies, he must resolve the mystery before hostilities escalate.
The Witcher saga began with Sapkowski's book series, featuring Geralt in a world inspired by Slavic mythology. CD Projekt Red's 2007 game adaptation, particularly "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," achieved critical acclaim, leading to numerous spin-offs and collaborations (including a real-life Gwent card game). Witcher 4, with a new protagonist, was announced at the 2024 Game Awards.
Netflix joined the franchise in 2019, producing three seasons of its live-action series starring Henry Cavill. Season 4, featuring Liam Hemsworth as Geralt, is slated for an April release.
Mike Ostrowski and Rae Benjamin (also writers for the live-action series) penned "Sirens of the Deep," directed by Kang Hei Chul. Animation was a collaborative effort between Studio Mir, Poland's Platige Image, and Hivemind.
