Stream 'The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep' - Its Place in the Timeline

Geralt of Rivia, the legendary monster hunter from the acclaimed Witcher games, is back in action. This time, he graces Netflix's expanding "Witcher Universe" in the animated feature "Sirens of the Deep." Set during Season 1 of the Netflix series, this spin-off movie brings back the iconic voice of Geralt, Doug Cockle, and is sure to thrill fans of the franchise.

In his review for IGN, critic Jarrod Jones noted that, "While the pairing of Cockle’s Geralt and Joey Batey’s Jaskier has its charms, only diehards will appreciate the appeal of this Witcher crossover." This suggests that "Sirens of the Deep" might be a treat for the most dedicated fans, perhaps serving as a bridge to the much-anticipated "The Witcher 4."
