We’ve been hearing about the latest animated film based on The Witcher franchise for a while now, but we’ve never heard about the latest animated film based on The Witcher franchise. I got a short teaser and a equally short clip. Now, finally, there is a full-fledged legit trailer. This is an opportune moment, because The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep arrives on Netflix on February 11.
The big hook here? Geralt is voiced by Doug Cockle, reprising his role from the video games. Anya Chalotra and Joey Batey (Yennefer de Vengerberg and Jaskier in the live action series) also reprise their roles. It takes place in the universe of the television series, surrounding the events that occurred during the first season, but is based on a short story by franchise creator Andrzej Sapkowski.
The original story, titled “A Small Sacrifice”, involves Geralt investigating a series of attacks on a seaside village, leading to conflict between humans and men. It is generally considered one of the better news in the canon. There is an underwater city, which is always a good time.
The film is directed by Kang Hei Chul. He was a screenwriter for The Witcher: The Wolf’s Nightmare, which was a prequel who followed Geralt’s mentor, Vesemir. Studio Mir is in charge of the animation, the same South Korean studio that worked on Wolf’s Nightmare.
This company has an absolutely incredible pedigree. He hosted the hit cartoon X-Men ’97but also things like The Legend of Korra, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, My Adventures with Superman And Voltron: Legendary Defenderamong many others. The studio is currently finishing the next The devil may cry animatedalso for Netflix.
A fourth game in The Witcher franchise is coming, but this one stars Ciri instead of Geralt. The fifth and final season of The Witcher tv show should be premiered on Netflix in 2026.
