Netflix has announced that its animated film The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep has been delayed from late 2024 to February 11, 2025.Word came as part of Netflix's Geeked Week where the streaming service also shared a brief promotional video and clip from the incoming film. Doug Cockle, voice of Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher video games and now Sirens of the Deep too, introduces a scene where his character and the bard Jaskier (voiced by Joey Batey from the Netflix series) chat around a campfire.Sirens of the Deep is based on the short story A Little Sacrifice. This takes place in roughly 1244 in the Witcher world, soon after Geralt and Yennefer meet for the first time in the Netflix show's Season 1 Episode 5, but more than 20 years before the main saga that begins in Season 2.Heartbroken from his first break-up with Yennefer, Geralt travels The Continent with Dandelion before the pair come across rival troubadour Essi. The three then mediate a lover's quarrel between a prince and a mermaid that looks to grow a lot more intense in the Netflix adaptation.Yennefer doesn't get named in the trailer directly but does get called a "raven haired, sunken eyed, serpent tongued, she demon" by Jaskier, who's encouraging Geralt to explore a romantic relationship with Essi instead.Sirens of the Deep has been rumoured for a long time, with an incredibly subtle tease for the film even hidden within The Witcher Season 3. It featured a song also called A Little Sacrifice, sung by Ciri (Freya Allen), that told the short story's tale despite it not having anything to do with the main events of the show.Cockle told IGN in December last year that he was pretty comfortable making the jump from video games to the Netflix film, though did struggle a touch with speaking the language of Merfolk."It's hard because the Merfolk speak… They're described in the books as having a sing-songy kind of lilt to their voice, and Geralt is anything but," Cockle said. "So that was what I was really struggling with, was getting this sing-songy kind of quality into Geralt's, gruff, somewhat monotone delivery. It was a real challenge."For more news from Netflix, you can check out our guide to everything announced at Netflix Geeked Week 2024.
