Netflix has postponed the release of its upcoming animated Witcher film, Sirens of the Deep, from late 2024 to February 11, 2025. To bridge the gap, the streaming platform has released a two-minute clip featuring familiar characters from the beloved franchise.
Sirens of the Deep marks Netflix’s second animated film set in the Witcher universe, following the 2021 release of The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. The new film, adapted from Andrzej Sapkowski’s short story “A Little Sacrifice,” will once again feature Doug Cockle as the voice of Geralt of Rivia. In this installment, Geralt investigates a series of attacks on a coastal village, only to find himself entangled in an age-old conflict between humans and merpeople. As tensions rise, Geralt will need to rely on both old and new allies to prevent a full-scale war between the two factions.
The film is directed by Kang Hei Chul, who also directed Nightmare of the Wolf. Cockle reprises his role as Geralt, while Joey Batey returns as Jaskier, a role he also plays in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of The Witcher. The new clip showcases these characters and provides a glimpse into the upcoming film.
Batey will continue his role as Jaskier in the final two seasons of the live-action The Witcher series. Liam Hemsworth is set to take over the role of Geralt from Henry Cavill starting in Season 4.
Cockle has expressed his thoughts on the live-action series, noting his confusion over some of the creative decisions and his interest in discussing them with the writers to better understand their choices.
