‘The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep’ Teaser – Animated Netflix Spinoff Heads into Aquatic Horror Territory
After the success of The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf animated spinoff, Netflix announced today via “Geeked Week” that a new animated spinoff feature The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is on the way. This time Geralt of Rivia appears to be venturing into aquatic horror territory based on the new teaser unveiled.
Expect to see The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep on Netflix in late 2024.
About the film, ” Geralt of Rivia, a mutated monster hunter, is hired to investigate a series of attacks in a seaside village and finds himself drawn into a centuries-old conflict between humans and merpeople. He must count on friends — old and new — to solve the mystery before the hostilities between the two kingdoms escalate into all-out war.”
Watch the teaser below to get a glimpse at some of the aquatic creatures that the famed monster hunter will have to contend with.
As for when this spinoff is set? Tudum explains that Sirens of the Deep takes place between episodes 5 and 6 of “The Witcher” season one. That means that if you’re not caught up, you don’t have too much homework to prepare.
Doug Cockle will be voicing Geralt. The spinoff film is directed by Kang Hei Chul and written by the series’ writers Mike Ostrowski and Rae Benjamin.
“The Witcher” stars Anya Chalotra and Joey Batey will also reprise their roles as Yennefer of Vengerberg and Jaskier for the animated movie. New character Essi Davis will be voiced by Christina Wren.
“I am super excited to announce my return to the world of The Witcher voicing Geralt of Rivia once again,” Cockle told Netflix. “I’m thrilled to be able to share this next chapter of the White Wolf’s journey with fans of the Witcher universe. Mire taedh aen stráede!”
The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep comes from South Korean animation studio Studio MIR, who was also behind Netflix’s The Legend of Korra and Voltron: Legendary Defender.
NEON has been absolutely slaying the marketing game for their horror output this year, and they’re kicking the Longlegs campaign into high gear with one more month until release.
A cryptic ad in The Seattle Times today (seen below) has led clever horror fans to discover TheBirthdayMurders.net, the brand new official viral marketing website for Longlegs.
The in-universe website details the victims of the serial killer known as Longlegs (Nicolas Cage), described as a “Satan-worshipping psycho” who has terrorized families throughout the Pacific Northwest for nearly three decades.
The website details, “A bloody trail of bodies here in the great state of Oregon attests to the depraved savagery of this one-of-a-kind serial killer. With over three dozen victims that we know of, LONGLEGS is one of the most prolific mass murderers ever to have graced the region, and his gruesome endeavors are the stuff of nightmares. At first, all of the killings appeared to be straightforward murder-suicides: the handiwork of average men who suddenly snapped and slaughtered their wives and children. But a series of eerie coded messages left at the crime scenes indicate that someone – or something – is influencing these horrific crimes. The cryptic letters are signed by someone calling himself LONGLEGS.”
“With thirty-eight kills to his name, LONGLEGS has torn apart the lives of eleven different families throughout the Beaver State. His victims were good people: honest fathers, decent mothers, innocent little children.”
The website is loaded with secrets, clues, and gruesome (faux) crime scene photos, and you might even find a mention of yours truly nestled in there. Poke around. Stay a while.
Longlegs arrives in theaters July 12.
The upcoming serial killer horror movie marks the return of director Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel). Nicolas Cage stars alongside Maika Monroe, with Monroe playing an FBI agent and Cage playing a serial killer.
In the film, “FBI Agent Lee Harker (Monroe) is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer (Cage). As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another innocent family.
The film is rated “R” for “Bloody violence, disturbing images and some language.”
