Excitement is building as Netflix gears up to release the latest addition to The Witcher universe with its new animated movie, *The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep*. Mark your calendars for February 11, 2025, when this eagerly anticipated film will make its debut, as announced by Netflix Tudum, the streamer's official news site.

Set in a Seaside Village in the Continent

Based on the captivating short story "A Little Sacrifice" from Andrzej Sapkowski's *Sword of Destiny*, this animated feature brings a fresh twist to the Witcher saga. *The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep* unfolds in a picturesque seaside village, embroiled in a centuries-old conflict between humans and merpeople. This time, Geralt of Rivia, the famed Witcher, finds himself entangled in a battle against these aquatic beings, diverging from his usual encounters with creatures like Basilisks and Cockatrices.

Returning to voice the stoic hero, Geralt, is Doug Cockle, joined by Joey Batey as the charismatic bard Jaskier and Anya Chalotra as the powerful sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg. Adding to the cast is Christina Wren, known from the *Will Trent* TV series, who will lend her voice to the new character Essi Daven.

Andrzej Sapkowski, the mastermind behind The Witcher novels, steps in as a creative consultant, ensuring the film stays true to his vision. The screenplay is penned by Mike Ostrowski and Rae Benjamin, who have previously contributed to the live-action series. Directing this cinematic venture is Kang Hei Chul, the talented storyboard artist from *The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf*.

Takes Place During Season 1 of The Witcher’s Live-Adaptation Series

For fans of the live-action series, *The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep* slots neatly into the timeline, occurring between episodes 5 and 6 of Season 1. Following the events of "Bottled Appetites," where Geralt and Yennefer reunite in the Redanian city of Rinde after freeing a Djinn, Geralt is soon hired by a mysterious kingdom to tackle a monster issue at its shores.

Given the geographical closeness of Rinde to the coastal regions of Redania and Temeria, it's speculated that the movie's setting could be in Bremervoord City, Temeria, under the rule of Duke Agloval, as hinted in "A Little Sacrifice." However, whether the film will adhere strictly to the short story's setting remains to be seen.

As February 11, 2025, approaches, fans of The Witcher can look forward to diving into this new animated adventure that promises to expand the lore and deepen our connection to the Continent's rich tapestry of tales.
