About THE WITCHER:

Based on the best-selling fantasy series of books, THE WITCHER is an epic tale of fate and family. The story of the intertwined destinies of three individuals in the vast world of The Continent, where humans, elves, witchers, gnomes, and monsters battle to survive and thrive, and where good and evil is not easily identified.


Season 2 Logline: Convinced Yennefer’s life was lost at the Battle of Sodden, Geralt of Rivia brings Princess Cirilla to the safest place he knows, his childhood home of Kaer Morhen. While the Continent’s kings, elves, humans and demons strive for supremacy outside its walls, he must protect the girl from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power she possesses inside.

  1. This looks like such an awesome event. I can't wait to see everything, but am looking forward to Henry's interview the most. It's even better hearing that Josh Horowitz will be hosting. Josh has conducted some of Henry's best interviews, and I'll bet that this one will be just as fantastic.

  2. Very much looking forward to the first WitcherCon...especially Henry's solo panel. His passion and dedication to The Witcher franchise, his excitement and enthusiasm for the books, his love and respect for his craft and colleagues is alwaye so lovely and inspiring to see. Can't wait for some S2 sneak peeks and surprises too =) xx

  3. I'm so excited for Henry's interview and I can't wait to see him again 😍🥰😃, oh how much I missed him. However I was hoping for a joined interview of him and Anya. They're the main couple/protagonists and we have so little of them together 😭. I was hoping that would change in s2 after the fans loved their chemistry. Fingers crossed for a live premiere or a photoshoot 🤞.

    1. Yes. I'm excited for Henry's interview but not so much for the rest. I wanted the main three together to interact and have fun and talk about their characters forming this beloved witcher family plus Joey bc he and Henry would be hilarious.

  7. Thanks for the updates HCN. I have to admit, I had my hopes up for at least a panel with Henry and his co stars. I can hear him for hours speaking about Geralt and I'm 100% sure he'll be the one to give us the most accurate and meaningful insights of s2 but I wanted some fun between him and his Co satrs especially Anya and Freya. The interviews for Enola Holmes were gold.

    1. I agree! Let's hope we'll get more events and interviews before s2 comes out or afterwards. Enola Holmes interviews with Henry, Sam and Millie were a gift to us. Hope for something similar with Anya, Freya and Henry!
