'Witcher' Animated Prequel: Streaming Guide and Timeline

By RyanFeb 23,2025

Geralt of Rivia's voice, familiar to fans of the Witcher games, returns in Netflix's latest animated offering, "Sirens of the Deep." This animated spin-off film, set during Season 1 of the Netflix series, features Doug Cockle reprising his iconic role. IGN's Jarrod Jones, in his review, notes that while the pairing of Cockle's Geralt and Joey Batey's Jaskier holds appeal, its charm might be limited to dedicated fans. Nevertheless, it could serve as a satisfying interim experience before the release of Witcher 4.
