The Witcher’s New Anime Features a Fan-Favorite Book Character

News has been extremely scarce regarding the next anime movie in The Witcher Netflix universe. It was announced in September 2021 and there have been zero official news since. There was one rumor that it would be called Sirens of the Deep. Today, we are able to confirm that and more!

Christina Wren is the voice of Essi Daven in The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep!

We have learned that the next Witcher anime movie by Studio Mir is indeed called The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep. Moreover, it will feature none other than Essi Daven as one of its leads, who had a very memorable and tragic role in Andrzej Sapkowski’s short story A Little Sacrifice.

The short story was sadly absent from The Witcher Season 1, but it looks like Sirens of the Deeps is its adaptation.

Christina Wren in Man of Steel

Essi Daven will be voiced by Christina Wren, who has appeared in person and in voice in such projects as Man of Steel alongside Henry Cavill and Zack Snyder’s upcoming Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas alongside Anya Chalotra.

Wren posted in June 2022 on her Instagram page several photos from the recording session of Sirens of the Deep with some commentary:

“I’ve wanted to sing in an animated film since I was a kid and last week I had the supreme joy of that dream coming to life. “

The Witcher Season 2 and Season 3 composer Joseph Trapanese is attached to do the score for The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep.

But still one major question remains.

Who is the voice of Geralt?

The big white-haired elephant in the room here still remains. Who will voice Geralt? Henry Cavill or Liam Hemsworth?

Sirens of the Deep has been in development long before Henry Cavill left The Witcher and as you saw above, recordings were taking place in June 2022, so there is a chance that it’s Henry. If it is, it would be his final appearance as Geralt instead of the Season 3 finale.

If not, then it’s Liam Hemsworth. We’ll have to wait and see.

As for Jaskier, well, there’s absolutely no doubt who is voicing the famous bard.

Season 3 of The Witcher is in post-production for a June and July release. The Rats spin-off is currently in production. Stay tuned to Redanian Intelligence and do pop into our Discord server to join in on The Witcher conversation.

The Witcher Season 3 to enter production in early 2022

Image
Everyone is eagerly waiting for The Witcher Season 2 on December 17, but the work on the next season doesn’t stay still and the scripts are being written as we speak. If you recall, Season 3 of The Witcher will have a number of new writers who started their work this July. We were wondering when filming for the next season would begin and now we have a window. Thanks to the newest listing on Production Weekly, we now know that Season 3 of The Witcher is planned to enter production in the first quarter of 2022 . But bear in mind that production schedules are never solid and are always subject to change, especially in a post-covid world. Nevertheless, at least now we approximately know the production window and when Netflix wants to get things underway. Contact info blacked out for privacy reasons . Also disregard the locations and directors. That is old info. Season 3 will also have a significant change: instead of Arborfield Studios, production will move to Longcross Studios, w...

House of the Dragon Season 3 Starts Active Development

Image
HBO doesn’t rest on its laurels regarding its hit series House of the Dragon with 2024 being a big year for the Westeros universe. Not only Season 2 of House of the Dragon will be released this Summer, but also the Dunk & Egg series will start filming this Spring. But that’s not all, as work on Season 3 must begin as well. Work on House of the Dragon Season 3 begins very soon We’ve learned that work on House of the Dragon Season 3 such as active script writing and other very early things begin fully this month, January 2024 . It’s too early to speak of any filming dates, but if previous seasons are any indication, the scripts realistically won’t be done until about Q3/Q4 of this year. Writing for Season 2 of House of the Dragon started around April/May 2022 and cameras started rolling almost a whole year later, in April 2023. Perhaps we’re looking at a late 2024/early 2025 filming start, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. For now we can only speculate. A m...

The Witcher to film Cintra flashbacks for Season 2

Image
The Kingdom of Cintra was a key location in the first season of Netflix’s The Witcher . We saw Geralt (Henry Cavill) travel there twice, we saw Ciri (Freya Allan) escaping from Eamon Farren’s Cahir and of course a feast that ended quite magically, to the surprise of all attendants, Geralt included, as he would later realize, destiny is all. The Cintran arc was wrapped in the first season and there would be little reason for the story to return there besides showing us flashbacks from a time when everyone there was still alive and well. We have learned that this will indeed occur in the second season of The Witcher as both Ciri’s parents, Duny and Pavetta will return for a flashback scene. Both actors, Bart Edwards and Gaia Mondadori were recently on set at Arborfield Studios either filming or preparing to film with Ed Bazalgette, director of episodes 5 and 8 of the second season. We could not, however, confirm whether or not a boat will be involved in their scene. Duny and Pa...
