  • The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is a 90-minute animated film set between episodes 5 and 6 of Netflix's live-action series' first season.
  • Doug Cockle reprises his role as Geralt of Rivia, joining Joey Batey and Anya Chalotra from the live-action series' cast.
  • The story adapts Andrzej Sapkowski’s 'A Little Sacrifice,' exploring tensions between humans and merfolk through a star-crossed romance and political intrigue.
