"Netflix's Witcher Animated Film Set for February Release"

Netflix is set to captivate fans once again with the release of the latest animated movie in The Witcher franchise, titled "The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep," scheduled to premiere on February 11, 2025. Dive deeper into what this upcoming film has in store!

The Witcher's Newest Spinoff Animated Movie

Set in a Seaside Village in the Continent

The much-anticipated "The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep" is set to debut on Netflix on February 11, 2025, according to Netflix Tudum. This exciting addition to the Witcher universe draws its narrative from Andrzej Sapkowski's short story, "A Little Sacrifice," found in the collection Sword of Destiny.

The film unfolds in a picturesque seaside village on the Continent, where a centuries-old conflict between humans and merpeople has escalated, leading a kingdom to enlist the services of a Witcher. This time, Geralt will face a new challenge, diverging from his usual adversaries like Basilisks and Cockatrices, to tackle the enigmatic merpeople.

Returning to lend his voice to Geralt is Doug Cockle, with Joey Batey and Anya Chalotra reprising their roles as Jaskier and Yennefer of Vengerberg. Christina Wren, known from the Will Trent TV series, joins the cast, voicing the new character Essi Daven.

Andrzej Sapkowski, the acclaimed author of The Witcher novels, steps in as a creative consultant for the film. The screenplay is penned by Mike Ostrowski and Rae Benjamin, who have also contributed to the live-action series. Directing the film is Kang Hei Chul, previously the storyboard artist for The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.

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

Set between episodes 5 and 6 of The Witcher's first season, "The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep" follows Geralt's journey after his reunion with Yennefer in the city of Rinde, where they freed a Djinn. Shortly after, Geralt is commissioned by a yet-to-be-revealed kingdom to address a monster-related issue along its coastlines.

Given the geographical context, the film's setting is likely nestled between the shores of Redania and Temeria. Specifically, if adhering closely to the setting of "A Little Sacrifice," the action might unfold in Bremervoord City in Temeria, ruled by Duke Agloval. As the release date approaches, fans eagerly await to see how closely the film will follow the original story's setting and plot.
