The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep adapts Andrzej Sapkowski's short story 'A Little Sacrifice', which sees Geralt of Rivia thrust into a tricky situation between humans and merpeople. The anime movie is set right in the middle of the Netflix live-action show, specifically taking place between episodes five and six of season 1.

This means we meet Geralt in a difficult spot during his relationship with Yennefer, when the pair are estranged after the whole djinn business. Speaking to SFX magazine, which features Daredevil: Born Again on the cover and hits newsstands on January 29, writer Mike Ostrowski calls it "a period of not being together, or a period of trouble, but still on each other's minds."
