Director Kang Hei Chul tells IndieWire about finding a balance between the various portrayals of the titular Witcher.

Netflix's "The Witcher" puts its spin on "The Little Mermaid" in "The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep." Set during the events of Season 1, the new animated film adapts from Andrzej Sapkowski's short story "A Little Sacrifice" (which was itself inspired by the classic fairytale).

Based on the events in Sirens of the Deep, it likely takes place in 1261, just before Yennefer and Geralt meet again.
