Netflix and CD Projekt Red have announced the schedule for their upcoming virtual fan event WitcherCon.
According to the official show schedule, WitcherCon will feature several interactive panels, cast conversations, game developer discussions, quiz-style trivia games, and so much more. The event, hosted by Julia Hardy, will run across two separate streams on July 9 and July 10, with each one offering unique, exclusive content.
The lineup promises never-before-seen insights into the production and creative processes behind the Witcher universe, including CD Projekt Red's The Witcher video games and The Witcher Netflix series, with surprises from the live-action series and forthcoming anime film The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, which is being produced by Studio Mir.

Fans tuning in for the event shouldn't expect a new installment of The Witcher video game series to be announced, as the official WitcherCon website explicitly states that no new game will be unveiled during the two-day celebration. Instead, the show will present expert explorations into The Witcher franchise across a star-studded selection of panels.
The panel schedule, per Netflix, will run as follows:
The Witcher Season 2: Deck of Destiny
Guests: Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan, Mimî M Khayisa, Paul Bullion
Destinies collide when the cast and showrunner of Netflix's The Witcher draw cards from an enigmatic deck of fan questions that will determine the path of the panel and the immediate fate of the guests. But these are no ordinary cards - prepare for surprise reveals, backstage insights, and a dash of chaos as our panelists take us through their journey of filming S2.
