Geralt of Rivia, the iconic character from The Witcher series, returns to the screen, this time with Doug Cockle reprising his role as the voice of the monster hunter. Netflix's expansion of its "Witcher Universe" introduces an animated feature, "The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep," a spin-off set during Season 1 of the Netflix series.
In his review for IGN, critic Jarrod Jones notes 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 movie might serve as a bridge for fans eagerly awaiting the next installment in the franchise, The Witcher 4.
