Witchercon Schedule Announced Including Panel With Henry Cavill

The event will have a heavy focus on the second season of Netflix’s The Witcher and the upcoming spin-off anime, The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, but will also include talks about the video games, comic books, and board games based on the popular fantasy franchise. The convention, which is more of just a series of panels, is hosted by Julia Hardy and promises to show off a slew of special reveals and special short-form content that gives never-before-seen insights into the production and creative processes behind everything. That probably means we will at least get a trailer for the anime, if not The Witcher season 2 itself. The entire thing culminates with a one-on-one discussion with Henry Cavill, who will dive deep into a host of topics and, if the convention goes how most of these things do, deliver the “and one more thing” moment before dropping the first trailer for season 2. Missing from the WitcherCon schedule is any mention of the upcoming prequel mini-series The Witcher: Blood Origin. The show recently lost its lead, so it’s possible Netflix isn’t ready to present anything or it’s just saving it for another surprise. https://twitter.com/witchergame/status/1409512001395691520 WitcherCon will be available on both Twitch and YouTube and stream twice over, with each stream featuring new content. The first airs on July 9 at 7:00 p.m. CEST / 1:00 p.m. ET. The second stream will begin at 3:00 a.m. CEST on July 10 / 9:00 p.m. ET on July 9.
