Geralt of Rivia returns, voiced by Doug Cockle from the beloved Witcher video games, in Netflix's latest addition to its expanding "Witcher Universe." The animated film, "Sirens of the Deep," is set during Season 1 of the Netflix series and offers fans a fresh adventure in the Continent.
In his review for IGN, critic Jarrod Jones notes that while the combination of Cockle’s Geralt and Joey Batey’s Jaskier is charming, "Sirens of the Deep" might primarily appeal to die-hard fans. However, it could serve as a delightful interlude until "The Witcher 4" arrives.

What Else Is in The Witcher Universe?
The Witcher saga began as a series of novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, chronicling the adventures of monster hunter Geralt in a world inspired by Slavic mythology. The success of the books led CD Projekt Red to develop the first Witcher game in 2007. The franchise, particularly "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," has since become one of the most celebrated RPG series, spawning numerous spin-offs and even a real-life version of the Gwent card game. "The Witcher 4," featuring a new protagonist, was announced at the 2024 Game Awards.
Netflix entered the fray in 2019 with its live-action adaptation, which has now completed three seasons starring Henry Cavill as Geralt. The fourth season, set to premiere in April, will introduce Liam Hemsworth in the iconic role.
