Geralt of Rivia's voice, familiar to fans of the Witcher games, returns in Netflix's latest animated adventure, "Sirens of the Deep." This animated film, a spin-off set during the first season of the Netflix series, features Doug Cockle reprising his iconic role.
IGN's Jarrod Jones, in his review, notes that while the pairing of Cockle's Geralt and Joey Batey's Jaskier holds appeal, its charm might be primarily appreciated by dedicated Witcher fans. Regardless, it may serve as a satisfying bridge until the release of Witcher 4.
