Stream 'The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep' - Its Place in the Timeline

Geralt of Rivia, the iconic monster hunter from the beloved Witcher games, is making a triumphant return, this time in Netflix's expanding "Witcher Universe." The latest addition, "The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep," is an animated film that slots seamlessly into the timeline of the Netflix series, specifically between episodes 5 and 6 of Season 1. Fans will be thrilled to hear that Doug Cockle, the voice behind Geralt in the games, lends his talents to this new venture, bringing the character to life once more.

In his review for IGN, critic Jarrod Jones notes that while the dynamic between Cockle's Geralt and Joey Batey's Jaskier is charming, "Sirens of the Deep" might primarily appeal to diehard fans of the Witcher franchise. However, for those eagerly awaiting the next installment in the video game series, this animated film could serve as a delightful interim adventure.

What Else Is in The Witcher Universe?

The Witcher saga began with a series of novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, centered around the adventures of Geralt of Rivia in a world steeped in Slavic mythology. The success of the books led to the development of the acclaimed video game series by CD Projekt Red, starting with the first game in 2007. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, in particular, received widespread acclaim and inspired numerous spin-offs, including a real-life version of the Gwent card game. The announcement of The Witcher 4, featuring a new protagonist, was made at the 2024 Game Awards.

Netflix joined the Witcher phenomenon in 2019 with its live-action series, which has now completed three seasons with Henry Cavill in the lead role. The upcoming fourth season, set to premiere in April, will introduce Liam Hemsworth as Geralt.
