Geralt of Rivia is back, and fans of the Witcher series are in for a treat. Netflix has expanded its "Witcher Universe" with a new animated film titled *The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep*. This movie features the return of Doug Cockle as the voice of Geralt, the iconic monster hunter from the video games. Set during Season 1 of the Netflix series, between episodes 5 and 6, *Sirens of the Deep* offers a fresh take on the beloved character.
In his review for IGN, critic Jarrod Jones notes that while the dynamic between Cockle's Geralt and Joey Batey's Jaskier is charming, the film might primarily appeal to diehard fans of the franchise. Nevertheless, it could serve as a delightful interlude as fans eagerly await the arrival of *The Witcher 4*.

The series, especially *The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt*, has garnered widespread acclaim, spawning numerous spin-offs and even a real-life version of the Gwent card game. The announcement of *The Witcher 4* with a new protagonist at the 2024 Game Awards has further fueled fan excitement.
