The Witcher: A New Animated Adventure
A Coastal Conflict on the Continent
Netflix Tudum, the official news source, confirms the February 11, 2025 release date for The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep. This animated film adapts Andrzej Sapkowski's short story, "A Little Sacrifice," from Sword of Destiny.
The story unfolds in a coastal village, where a centuries-old conflict between humans and merfolk compels a kingdom to enlist Geralt's services. This time, Geralt faces a unique challenge, trading typical monsters for the aquatic threat of merpeople.
Returning to voice Geralt is Doug Cockle. Joey Batey and Anya Chalotra reprise their roles as Jaskier and Yennefer, respectively. Christina Wren (Will Trent) joins the cast as the new character, Essi Daven.
Sapkowski acts as a creative consultant, while Mike Ostrowski and Rae Benjamin (writers for the live-action series) penned the screenplay. Kang Hei Chul, storyboard artist for The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, directs the film.
A Season 1 Interlude
The film's timeline slots neatly between episodes 5 and 6 of the first season of the live-action series. Following Geralt and Yennefer's encounter in Rinde after freeing a Djinn, Geralt accepts a new contract to resolve a monstrous problem near the coast.
The coastal location suggests a setting between Redania and Temeria. Based on "A Little Sacrifice," the film may take place in Bremervoord City in Temeria, ruled by Duke Agloval. However, the extent to which the film adheres to the short story remains to be seen.
