Witcher Immersive Premiere: Dive into "Sirens of the Deep"

Geralt of Rivia's voice, familiar to fans of the Witcher games, returns in Netflix's latest animated adventure, "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 primarily felt by dedicated Witcher fans. Regardless, it offers a potential bridge to the highly anticipated Witcher 4.
