Sirens of the Deep, Netflix’s latest animated The Witcher movie – which is perhaps most notable for the fact it’ll see Doug Cockle reprising his video game role as the gravelly voiced Geralt of Rivia – now has a release date, and is streaming from 11th February.
Sirens of the Deep is based on The Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski’s short story A Little Sacrifice, and begins with Geralt investigating a series of attacks in a seaside village. One thing leads to another, however, and everybody’s favourite white-haired grump soon finds himself drawn into a centuries-old conflict between humans and merpeople.
“He must count on friends — old and new,” Netflix teases in its announcement, “to solve the mystery before the hostilities between the two kingdoms escalate into all-out war.”
Geralt will be joined by Anya Chalotra and Joey Batey, reprising their live-action TV series roles of Yennefer and Jaskier respectively, and the whole thing is being directed by Kang Hei Chul – who helmed Netflix’s previous animated Witcher movie, 2021’s surprisingly decent Nightmare of the Wolf. And if that’s whet your appetite, there’s a new two-minute trailer to view.
