The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep – A New Chapter in the Witcher Universe

A Sneak Peek into the Anime’s Storyline

Get ready to dive into the world of The Witcher once again! The upcoming anime series, Sirens of the Deep, is set to premiere on Netflix next month, and it’s going to take place right in the middle of the live-action show. Specifically, it will bridge the gap between episodes 5 and 6, offering a fresh perspective on the beloved characters. And, as a bonus, it includes a scene that was cut from Henry Cavill’s first season!

What to Expect from Sirens of the Deep

According to writer Mike Ostrowski and co-writer Rae Benjamin, the anime will explore a period of separation between Geralt and Yennefer, a time of turmoil and longing. “It’s a period of not being together, or a period of trouble, but still on each other’s minds,” they reveal in the latest issue of SFX magazine.

A Fun Little Scene to Look Forward to

While the anime won’t interfere with the live-action show’s timeline, it does include a “fun little scene” that was originally cut from the main Netflix series. Unfortunately, the writers are keeping mum about the details, leaving us to speculate until the show’s debut on February 11th.

A Glimpse into Geralt and Yennefer’s Relationship

One thing is certain, though – Anya Chalotra will reprise her role as Yennefer, and we’ll get to see more of Geralt and Yennefer’s complicated relationship. As Ostrowski puts it, “Geralt cannot let Yennefer go, even though he’s trying his best. She haunts him. Even if he wanted to be rid of her, he can’t.”

The Future of The Witcher

And speaking of The Witcher, did you know that CD Projekt is working on The Witcher 4? The game was announced two and a half years ago, and we finally got our first glimpse of it in 2024. The latest news is that Ciri will be the focus of the new game, and Doug Cockle, the voice of Geralt, has shared his thoughts on the switch to a new main character. He calls it a “really, really interesting move for all kinds of reasons.”
