The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep has been adapted from A Little Sacrifice, a short story written by Andrzej Sapkowski. While the story does not feature the core characters of Cirir or Yennefer, it does shine a light on the Geralt of Rivia.
Well, the voice of this character has been given by neither Henry Cavill nor Liam Hemsworth. Rather, according to the streaming giant's revelation, it is none other than Doug Cockle.
The announcement, of the voicing legend coming back, was made by Netflix along with the film's trailer.

The actor in turn, reposted the tweet on his X account with the caption: "Thrilled to say the least. See you on the path."
Doug's venture into the franchise is not at all new. He has previously voiced The Witcher video game since before. Therefore, his return to te series has the fandom over the moon.
