Netflix is releasing a new animated Witcher movie, *The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep*, on February 11, 2025! Based on Andrzej Sapkowski's short story, "A Little Sacrifice," from *Sword of Destiny*, this exciting spinoff promises a unique adventure.
Set in a Seaside Village on the Continent
The story unfolds in a coastal village where a centuries-old conflict between humans and merfolk has escalated, prompting a kingdom to seek the help of a Witcher. Instead of the usual monsters, Geralt finds himself facing a challenge unlike any other—merpeople! Prepare for a thrilling battle against these mythical creatures.
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 a new character, Essi Daven.
Andrzej Sapkowski acts as creative consultant, with Mike Ostrowski and Rae Benjamin (writers of the live-action series) penning the screenplay. Kang Hei Chul, storyboard artist for *The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf*, directs this latest installment.
A Story Set During Season 1 of the Live-Action Series
The film seamlessly fits into the timeline of the live-action series, taking place between episodes 5 and 6 of season 1. Following Geralt and Yennefer's meeting in Rinde after the Djinn incident, Geralt is hired to resolve a monster problem near the coast.
The film's location is likely situated between Redania and Temeria, possibly Bremervoord City in Temeria, ruled by Duke Agloval, as suggested by the source material. However, only time will tell how closely the film adheres to the original short story.
