Geralt of Rivia is back in action, and this time, it's the iconic voice of Doug Cockle from the The Witcher games who's stepping into Netflix's expanding "Witcher Universe" with the animated film Sirens of the Deep. This movie serves as a spin-off set during Season 1 of the Netflix series, bridging the gap between episodes 5 and 6.
IGN critic Jarrod Jones reviewed Sirens of the Deep, noting 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." For those eagerly awaiting The Witcher 4, this film might just be the perfect interlude.
