The Witcher writers tease Geralt’s “blonde, bubbly” new love interest in Netflix’s Sirens of the Deep anime: “[She] makes more sense than Yen”

By the time we catch up with Geralt (Doug Cockle) in The Witcher’s new anime film Sirens of the Deep, he’s on the outs with Yennefer (Anya Chalotra). No, their on-again/off-again romance hasn’t hit another road bump. Instead, the upcoming animated affair takes place between episodes five and six of the first season of The Witcher on Netflix when the pair were on the outs after a series of tempestuous meetings across the years.

With uncharted territory, then, comes a brand new companion for Geralt to potentially warm up to. Enter Essi Daven (Christina Wren), an old friend of Jaskier (Joey Batey) who ends up by The White Wolf’s side as he finds himself entangled in a brewing war between humans and merpeople.
