The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep Teaser Reveals the Return of an Iconic Voice Character for Geralt

The Witcher series has been a mile-stone-setting franchise in the gaming industry. It was popularized by the success of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The game received many accolades upon its launch, along with multiple Game of the Year awards. The game even got a Netflix adaptation. Now there is going to be an anime as well and fans have just gotten a first look courtesy of a teaser trailer.

In the Netflix series, Geralt was portrayed by none other than Henry Cavill. However, for the upcoming anime, The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, Geralt’s voice from the video games will return.

Doug Cockle makes a return as Geralt

After the release of the live-action series from Netflix, rumors about an animated movie started to surface on the internet. After months of anticipation, Netflix finally made an announcement during Geeked Week 2023. They announced that they are working on a new animated movie called The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep. The movie will adapt a short story called A Little Sacrifice written by Andrzej Sapkowski, the author of The Witcher books.

The teaser didn’t unveil much but gave fans a hint about who will be playing Geralt from Rivia. The teaser debunked the myth that Liam Hemsworth would be the voice actor for the animated movie, finally announcing that Doug Cockle, the original voice for Geralt from the games, will return.

Doug Cockle has been the voice for Geralt since the very first game. His voice has shaped the personality of the tough but caring Witcher, Geralt. Hardcore Witcher fans will never forget the work Doug Cockle did in the games by being the first voice for Geralt from Rivia. This was noticed by the production team and Doug was brought back for the animated movie.

As reported by EW, Doug Cockle told Netflix, “I am super excited to announce my return to the world of the Witcher voicing Geralt of Rivia once again, but this time in the upcoming animated feature The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep.” He continued, “It’s been an honor to work with Studio Mir and Netflix on this new animated film, and I’m thrilled to be able to share this next chapter of the White Wolf’s journey with fans of the Witcher universe. Mire taedh aen stráede!”

What do we know about The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep so far?

Although Henry Cavill will not make a return for the animated movie, other co-stars from the live-action series, Joey Batey and Anya Chalotra will. It is confirmed that Anya will be voicing Yennefer while Joey will be the voice of Jaskier. Actor Christina Wren will portray Essi Daven, a character not previously featured in other Witcher media.

The story of A Little Sacrifice inspires the movie, set in the Witcher world around the year 1244. The events of the movie will take place soon after Geralt and Yennefer’s first meeting in Season 1 Episode 5 of the live-action Netflix series. These events occurred more than 20 years before the main saga depicted in Season 2 of the series.

For a long time, rumors circulated about Sirens of the Deep. The Witcher Season 3 subtly teased the film by hiding a clue within it. In Season 3, Ciri sang a song titled A Little Sacrifice. The song narrated the tale of the short story, even though it didn’t directly connect to the main events of the show.

The movie not only brings back Doug Cockle as the voice of Geralt, but it will also touch up on a side story that fans have not experienced before. With Netflix on the production, fans can expect a movie that will keep them thrilled about the Witcher universe. The movie will reportedly release during late 2024.
