The Witcher's Newest Animated Spinoff: Sirens of the Deep
A Seaside Village on the Continent
The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, debuting on Netflix February 11, 2025 (as announced by Netflix Tudum), is based on Andrzej Sapkowski's short story, "A Little Sacrifice," from Sword of Destiny. This animated film unfolds in a coastal village, where a centuries-old conflict between humans and merfolk compels a kingdom to enlist the aid of a Witcher. Instead of the usual monsters, Geralt faces a unique challenge—merpeople!
Dogue Cockle returns as the voice of Geralt. 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 serves as a creative consultant. Mike Ostrowski and Rae Benjamin, writers for the live-action series, penned the screenplay. Kang Hei Chul, storyboard artist for The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, directs.
A Story Set Within Witcher Season 1
The film's timeline fits neatly between episodes 5 and 6 of The Witcher's first season. Following Geralt and Yennefer's meeting in Rinde after the Djinn incident (Episode 5, "Bottled Appetites"), Geralt is hired to resolve a monster problem near the coast.
Considering Rinde's proximity to Redania and Temeria, the film likely takes place within one of those nations. The short story's setting, Bremervoord City in Temeria, under Duke Agloval's rule, may also play a significant role. Only time will tell how closely the film adheres to the original short story.
