"Stream The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep - Timeline Fit Explained"

Geralt of Rivia is making a triumphant return, this time in the voice of Doug Cockle, the iconic voice actor from the beloved Witcher video game series. Netflix's latest expansion into its "Witcher Universe" is an animated film titled Sirens of the Deep, which serves as a spin-off set during the events of Season 1 of the Netflix series.

In his review for IGN, critic Jarrod Jones notes that, "While the pairing of Cockle’s Geralt and Joey Batey’s Jaskier has its charms, only diehards will appreciate the appeal of this Witcher crossover." This animated venture may serve as a perfect interim delight for fans eagerly awaiting the release of The Witcher 4.

The entire Witcher "universe" is rooted in the works of Andrzej Sapkowski, and Sirens of the Deep specifically adapts the short story “A Little Sacrifice” from the second Witcher book, a collection of short stories. This movie is set in the midst of Season 1 of the Netflix series, between episodes 5 and 6. Here's the official synopsis:

Hired to probe seaside village attacks, mutant monster hunter Geralt unravels an age-old conflict between humans and sea people that threatens war between kingdoms. Aided by allies, he must solve the mystery before hostilities escalate.

What Else Is in The Witcher Universe?

The Witcher saga originally emerged as a series of novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, chronicling the adventures of the monster hunter Geralt in a world influenced by Slavic mythology. Inspired by these novels, CD Projekt Red launched the first Witcher video game in 2007. The series, especially The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, has earned widespread acclaim as one of the greatest RPGs ever created, leading to numerous spin-offs and partnerships, including a real-life version of the Gwent card game. The Witcher 4, featuring a new protagonist, was announced at the 2024 Game Awards.

Netflix joined the Witcher phenomenon in 2019 with the launch of its live-action series, which has now seen three seasons. Henry Cavill portrayed Geralt in these seasons, but Liam Hemsworth will take over the role starting with the fourth season, set to premiere in April.
