We’ve been hearing about the latest animated film based on The Witcher franchise for a while now, but we’ve only gotten a brief glimpse and an equally brief clip. Now, finally, there is an official full trailer. This is a good time, as Witch: Siren of the Deep hits Netflix on February 11.
The big hook here? Geralt is voiced by Doug Cockle, reprising his role from the video games. Anya Chalotra and Joey Batey (Yennefer from Vengerberg and Jaskier in the live-action show) also reprise their roles. It is set in the universe of the TV show, surrounding the events of the first season, but based on a short story by franchise creator Andrzej Sapkowski.
The first story, called “A Little Devotion,” involves Geralt investigating a series of attacks on a seaside village, leading to a conflict between people. It is often considered one of the best short stories in the canon. There is an underwater city, which is always a good time.
The movie is directed by Kang Hei Chul. He was a storyboard artist Witch: A Wolf’s Nightmarewhich was a prequel that followed Geralt’s mentor Vesemir. Studio Mir is working on the animation, the same South Korean studio we worked on A Wolf’s Nightmare.
This company has an absolutely amazing pedigree. It animated a hit cartoon X-Men ’97but also things like The Legend of Korra, Kipo and the Age of Fantastic Beasts, My Adventures with Superman again Voltron: Legendary Defenderamong many others. The studio is currently finalizing the next one Devil May Cry anime, and for Netflix.
The fourth game in The Witcher franchise is coming, but this one stars Ciri instead of Geralt. The fifth and final season of A witch The TV show is expected to air on Netflix in 2026.
