What Is Withercon 2021?For those who are unaware, The Witcher is more than just a TV show. It is predated by a beloved trilogy of role-playing video games (which it draws heavily upon), and they are themselves based on a collection of short stories. In short, it is an expansive universe that is looking to get even bigger, with a new anime film on the horizon as well.
Today marks the first-ever Witchercon event, acting as a virtual convention for fans of Andrzej Sapkowski's original source material, CD Projekt Red's video game adaptations, and the various spin-offs that are currently in development. The celebration will be split into two livestreams, the first of which will broadcast this afternoon and the second will air later on in the evening.

Henry Cavill will be sitting down with moderator Josh Horowitz for an extensive conversation about the Witcher universe (Cavill is a big fan of the novels and an even bigger fan of the video games) and the latest on the Netflix original.
