Geralt of Rivia's voice, familiar to fans of the Witcher games, returns in Netflix's latest animated adventure. "The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep," a spin-off film set during the first season of the Netflix series, features Doug Cockle reprising his iconic role.
IGN's Jarrod Jones, in his review, notes the film's appeal might be primarily for dedicated fans, despite the charming pairing of Cockle's Geralt and Joey Batey's Jaskier. It could, however, serve as a satisfying bridge until the release of The Witcher 4.

The Witcher Universe: A Wider Look
The Witcher franchise originated with Sapkowski's book series, inspiring CD Projekt Red's critically acclaimed video games, notably "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt."
