The Witcher's Newest Animated Spinoff: Sirens of the Deep
A Seaside Village on the Continent
Netflix Tudum, the official Netflix news site, announced The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, debuting February 11, 2025. Based on Andrzej Sapkowski's short story, "A Little Sacrifice," from Sword of Destiny, this film plunges into a seaside village where a centuries-old conflict between humans and merpeople forces a kingdom to seek the aid of a Witcher. Instead of the usual beasties, Geralt faces a unique challenge: battling merfolk.
Dogue Cockle returns as the voice of Geralt. Joey Batey and Anya Chalotra lend their voices to Jaskier and Yennefer, respectively. Christina Wren (Will Trent) joins the cast as the new character, Essi Daven.Andrzej Sapkowski acts as a creative consultant, while Mike Ostrowski and Rae Benjamin (writers for the live-action series) penned the script. Kang Hei Chul, storyboard artist for The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, directs the film.
A Story Set Within Witcher Season 1
The film is set between episodes 5 and 6 of The Witcher season 1. Following Geralt and Yennefer's meeting in Rinde after the Djinn incident in episode 5 ("Bottled Appetites"), Geralt is hired to resolve a monstrous problem near the coast.
The coastal setting suggests a location near Redania or Temeria. Considering the original short story's setting, the film may take place in Bremervoord City in Temeria, ruled by Duke Agloval. Whether the film strictly adheres to the source material remains to be seen.
