The first ever WitcherCon is happening now, and it is a celebration bringing the fans of the tv show, the books, and the games together for the ultimate virtual convention. Earlier, Netflix revealed the details about season two of The Witcher. Now we have a sneak peek and release date of the animated series: The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf!

The world of The Witcher expands in this anime origin story: Before Geralt, there was his mentor Vesemir -- a swashbuckling young witcher who escaped a life of poverty to slay monsters for coin. But when a strange new monster begins terrorizing a politically-fraught kingdom, Vesemir finds himself on a frightening adventure that forces him to confront the demons of his past.

The series releases August 23. Han Kwang Il is a director, and producers include Beau de Mayo, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich & Han Kwang Il Animation Studio MIR (The Legend of Korra and Netflix's Voltron: Legendary Defender).

Here's an early holiday season gift Witcher fans! The second season of The Witcher will debut December 17th! That is a perfect time for some holiday binging! Along with that announcement today, Netflix has provided us with a few first looks. The first of which is the season two poster which is absolutely stunning! The contrast of Geralt being the shadow of the bright and shinning Ciri really makes an impact. As we know from season one, Geralt is under the impression that Yennefer did not survive the Battle of Sodden, and turns his focus turns to Ciri.

Looking to the next gift we received today at WitcherCon, We have our first look at Lambert in an episode still! He'll be training Ciri likely at the behest of Geralt. Check that out below:

It wouldn't be a season two teaser if we didn't get at least one quick look at everyone's favorite bard, Jaskier-and Netflix did not disapoint us. We swear, if his lute had a plug, he'd be going full electric!

Now if you're like us, then you have what we call "plasti-crack all" over. We just can't get enough of these statues from comic book and video game lore. Darkhorse also announced a Geralt statue in the likeness of Henry Cavill and we are drooling! Check that out below:

With more information to come during the day at WitcherCon, we wanted to leave you with this last bit of exciting news, we have the episode titles for at least seven of the eight episodes this season! They are:

1.  A Grain of Truth
2.  Kaer Morhen
3.  What is Lost
4.  Redanian Intelligence
5.  Turn Your Back
6.  Dear Friend
7.  Voleth Meir
8.  (Redacted)

Finally, one more treat for you on this very rich Witcher news day! A featurette with Anya Chalotra and Freya Allan dicussing what season one was like for them and the journey of season two. Both talk about growth, challenges and excitement for the December release! 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.

The cast for The Witcher: Blood Origins continues to grow! After the announcement earlier this week about Michelle Yeoh joining, we now have confirmation that Sophia Brown will be joining the show, playing Éile. Previously, the role was going to be played by Jodie Turner-Smith, but she had to exit the show due to scheduling conflicts.

Brown, whose past credits include Giri/Haji, The Capture, Marcella, will be joining the show that serves as a prequel to The Witcher. Her role is described as:

An elite warrior blessed with the voice of a goddess, has left her clan and position as Queen's guardian to follow her heart as a nomadic musician. A grand reckoning on the Continent forces her to return to the way of the blade in her quest for vengeance and redemption.

We are looking forward to seeing what Sophia Brown brings to the role! Let us know your thoughts in the comments below or in our forum!

Just ahead of the big Witcher Con, coming this Friday at 10am PST, we are already getting our first big news from this week. Star Trek Discovery's very own Michelle Yeoh (Emperor Philippa Georgiou) has joined the cast of the prequil to The Witcher, The Witcher: Blood Origins. Set in an elven world 1200 years before the world of The Witcher, Blood Origin will tell a story lost to time - the creation of the first prototype Witcher, and the events that lead to the pivotal “conjunction of the spheres,” when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one. Yeoh's character, Scian, is described as:

Scían is the very last of her nomadic tribe of sword-elves. No one can come close to her artistry with the blade, and no one carries as much loss within their heart. When a chance presents itself to retrieve a stolen sacred sword, taken from her fallen tribe by nefarious means, she launches herself into a deadly quest that will change the outcome of the Continent

Blood Origin will be a six part, live-action limited series, and a prequel to the hit Netflix series The Witcher.
