Before we see Liam Hemsworth taking over as Geralt of Rivia from Henry Cavill, there’s time to catch an animated movie about the hero on Netflix. Here’s what you need to know about the program.

While fans eagerly await Season 4 of The Witcher, Netflix has released an animated film about the saga’s hero! The Witcher: Mermaids of the Abyss has been available on the streaming service since February 11. Based on the short story “A Grain of Truth” from Andrzej Sapkowski’s collection The Sword of Destiny, the plot unfolds years before the series and can be viewed independently.

For the voice cast of this animated film, Netflix has brought together actors from the series like Joey Batey, who voices Jaskier, whom he portrays on the show, and Anya Chalotra (Yennefer). Additionally, other actors not previously involved in the franchise, such as Doug Cockle (from the The Witcher video games) and Christina Wren (Will Trent, Cross), have also joined the cast.
