"Stream The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep - Timeline Explained"

Geralt of Rivia, the iconic monster hunter from the *The Witcher* games, is making a triumphant return. This time, fans can experience him in Netflix's newest addition to its expansive "Witcher Universe." The animated feature, *Sirens of the Deep*, serves as a spin-off movie set during Season 1 of the acclaimed Netflix series, with Doug Cockle lending his voice once again to the legendary witcher.

In his review for IGN, critic Jarrod Jones notes 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 to keep the excitement alive.

What Else Is in The Witcher Universe?

The Witcher saga began as a book series penned by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, chronicling the adventures of monster hunter Geralt in a world steeped in Slavic mythology. Drawing from these rich narratives, CD Projekt Red launched the first Witcher game in 2007. The Witcher games, particularly The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, have garnered widespread acclaim, becoming some of the most celebrated RPGs ever, inspiring numerous spin-offs and even a real-life version of the Gwent card game. The Witcher 4, featuring a new protagonist, was unveiled at the 2024 Game Awards.

Netflix joined the fray in 2019, releasing three seasons of its live-action adaptation of The Witcher, led by Henry Cavill. The fourth season, which marks Liam Hemsworth's debut as Geralt, is slated for release in April.
