Geralt of Rivia returns to the screen, not in person but through the iconic voice of Doug Cockle, the voice actor behind the character in the beloved Witcher video games. Netflix expands its "Witcher Universe" with the animated film, Sirens of the Deep, a captivating spin-off set during Season 1 of the Netflix series. This new addition brings fans back to the Continent and promises another thrilling adventure.
In his review for IGN, critic Jarrod Jones notes that the dynamic between Cockle’s Geralt and Joey Batey’s Jaskier, while charming, might only truly resonate with the most dedicated fans. He suggests that this animated crossover could serve as a bridge to keep fans engaged until the much-anticipated The Witcher 4 arrives.
