Netflix’s next animated foray into the world of The Witcher just got a new debut trailer, and this time Geralt is all grown up and back to his normal Witcher antics, fighting monsters and trying to talk sense into bloodthirsty and fearful humans .

The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep is based on the short story A Little Sacrifice by The Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski. In it, Geralt and Dandelion travel to the port city of Bremervoord after a local prince, Agloval, hires them to help woo a mermaid, Sh’eenaz. Needless to say, the story goes awry when both lovers realize that neither wants to give up their current comfortable lifestyle to live with the other, and war almost breaks out between the two kingdoms.

We’ve already seen a few teaser trailers for Sirens of the Deep. But these only confirmed what story would follow, as well as the fact that Doug Cockle, the original voice of Geralt from The Witcher games, and not Henry Cavill, will be voicing Geralt in this upcoming film. But thanks to the release of the official debut trailer, we can now learn even more about what this adventure will entail.

The best thing about the trailer is the new footage of the merfolk and the monsters that live underwater. There are giant four-legged fish, an entire battalion of armed warriors, and even an octopus who makes a cameo appearance near the end. The battles look just as epic as ever and it will be fun to see how Geralt manages to take on a group of mermaids and sea creatures while out on the water treading water.

But Sirens of the Deep isn’t just about action and bloody monster battles, it’s also about Geralt finding another potential love interest: Essi, who we see more of in this new trailer. After heading to Bremervoord to escape Yennefer and all the complications that come with it, Geralt encounters Essi while trying to hunt down the merfolk responsible for attacking some pearl divers. While she immediately falls in love with him, Geralt finds it harder to reciprocate her feelings. It’s a somewhat messy will-they-won’t-they scenario, and while the result isn’t terribly surprising, it’s still a moving story that’s genuinely meaningful to Geralt’s progress with Yennefer.

I’m quietly excited for Sirens of the Deep, especially after Nightmare of the Wolf. This animated Witcher film is still one of my favorites on Netflix and one that I even go back to every now and then just to witness all the great swordplay, beautiful chaos magic, and young Vesemir. If the combat in Sirens of the Deep is anywhere near as good as the combat in Nightmare of the Wolf, I’ll be very happy.
