The Witcher's Newest Animated Spinoff: Sirens of the Deep
Netflix Tudum, the official Netflix news site, announced The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, debuting February 11, 2025. Based on Andrzej Sapkowski's short story, "A Little Sacrifice," from Sword of Destiny, this spinoff plunges us into a coastal village grappling with a centuries-old conflict between humans and merfolk. Instead of the usual beasties, Geralt faces a unique challenge— battling merpeople!
Returning to voice Geralt is Doug Cockle. Joey Batey and Anya Chalotra reprise their roles as Jaskier and Yennefer, respectively. Christina Wren (Will Trent) joins the cast as the new character, Essi Daven.
Andrzej Sapkowski acts as creative consultant, with Mike Ostrowski and Rae Benjamin (writers for the live-action series) penning the screenplay. Kang Hei Chul, storyboard artist for The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, directs.
The film's timeline slots neatly between episodes 5 and 6 of The Witcher's first season. Following Geralt and Yennefer's meeting in Rinde after the Djinn incident, Geralt is hired to resolve a monstrous problem near the coast.
The coastal setting suggests a location between Redania and Temeria. The original short story places the events in Bremervoord City, Temeria, ruled by Duke Agloval. Whether the film adheres strictly to the source material remains to be seen.
