Doug Cockle had a sweet message about his return toThe Witcherseries, as he’s donning Geralt of Rivia’s iconic smoky voice once more for Netflix’s new animated spin-off.
The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is an all-new animated movie that sees Geralt investigating a series of attacks on a seaside town before quickly getting pulled into a generational conflict between humans and merpeople that he’d rather avoid. He is, after all, just in this for the coin.
Cockle also introduced a new clip from the movie “where we find Geralt and Jaskier around the fire, and as usual, Jaskier is getting on Geralt’s last nerves.” Jaskier makes the terrible mistake of criticizing Geralt’s “tough meat” and “ridiculous, ridiculous hair,” and you can see how well that goes in the clip below.
Aside from some beautiful animation, what makes Sirens of the Deep so exciting is that it’s uniting Geralt’s voice actor from the video games with Joey Batey, the live-action Jaskier actor (and Toss A Coin To Your Witcher singer) who’s reprising his role in animation. A bridge betweenCD Projekt Red’s RPGs and Netflix’s live-action series, if you will.
Doug Cockle is set to return to the character again inThe Witcher 4, though the actor saysthe upcoming game “won’t focus on Geralt”- he’ll just be “a part” of CD Projekt Red’s next big outing.
