‘The Witcher: Sirens Of The Deep’ Trailer: Geralt Dives Into An Age-Old Conflict In Netflix’s Animated Film

Through three seasons, The Witcher has been one of the strongest hits for Netflix. But that was with Henry Cavill starring as the monster hunter Geralt of Rivia, and it remains to be seen how fans will react to Liam Hemsworth in the role beginning with season four. The streamer continues to grow the franchise with The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, a mature-themed animated film arriving next month.

Neither Cavill or Hemsworth voices Geralt in the new fantasy film. Instead, it’s Doug Cockle, who is no stranger to the role having voiced him in numerous Witcher video games.

The film is based on the short story “A Little Sacrifice” in which Geralt uncovers an undersea city of sea creatures while investigating the disappearance of a ship’s crew, believed to have been killed by a monster. What he finds a centuries-old conflict between humans and merpeople.

Veteran Witcher writers Mike Ostrowski and Rae Benjamin wrote the screenplay. Kang Hei Chul directs, after acting as storyboard artist on The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.

Netflix premieres The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep on February 11th.

SYNOPSIS: Geralt of Rivia, a mutated monster hunter, is hired to investigate a series of attacks in a seaside village and finds himself drawn into a centuries-old conflict between humans and merpeople. He must count on friends — old and new — to solve the mystery before the hostilities between the two kingdoms escalate into all-out war.
