Based on the short story A Little Sacrifice by The Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski, the film is set between Episodes 5 and 6 of The Witcher Season 1.

Here is the synopsis, courtesy of Netflix:

“In Sirens of the Deep, Geralt of Rivia 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 an all-out war.”

The first teaser for the new film was shown during Geeked Week 2023, which runs through the weekend.
