The Witcher: Netflix's New TV Show Is Coming To Comic-Con
<p>The Witcher is coming to <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/comic-con/">San Diego Comic-Con</a> this year. The upcoming Netflix TV series will have its own panel in the convention's biggest and most notorious hall, Hall H, on Friday, July 19 (<a href="https://deadline.com/2019/07/netflix-the-witcher-the-dark-crystal-age-resistance-tcomic-con-hall-h-1202640167/">via Deadline</a>). During this panel, the highly-anticipated series will be discussed, and surely, there will be some big surprises there.</p><p>The panel runs from 2:15 PM to 3 PM PT, though it's unclear at this stage if it'll be streamed. Also unclear is who from the show may be on the panel. The three main stars as Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra, and Frey Allan, who play <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/netflixs-witcher-first-look-photos-show-geralt-yen/1100-6468153/">Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri respectively</a>. They could show up, while another likely candidate is showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich (The West Wing, Daredevil, The Umbrella Academy).</p><figure data-align="center" data-size="large" data-img-src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555693-d-zsr_rvuay_cgh.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-3555693" data-ratio="0.62535748331745" data-width="1049" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 1049px"><a href="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555693-d-zsr_rvuay_cgh.jpg"><img alt="No Caption Provided" src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555693-d-zsr_rvuay_cgh.jpg" srcset="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555693-d-zsr_rvuay_cgh.jpg 1049w, https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scal...ay_cgh.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 1049px) 100vw, 1049px" data-width="1049"></a></figure><figure data-embed-type="gallery" data-img-src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555689-d-zsr_rvuay_cgh-orig.jpg,https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555690-d-zsej8vuaykfee-orig.jpg,https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555691-d-zsej8u0amn3t7-orig.jpg,https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555692-d-zsej9u8aa09b4-orig.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-3555689,1300-3555690,1300-3555691,1300-3555692" data-resize-urls="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/square_avatar/1585/15855271/3555689-d-zsr_rvuay_cgh-orig.jpg,https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/square_avatar/1585/15855271/3555690-d-zsej8vuaykfee-orig.jpg,https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/square_avatar/1585/15855271/3555691-d-zsej8u0amn3t7-orig.jpg,https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/square_avatar/1585/15855271/3555692-d-zsej9u8aa09b4-orig.jpg"><a href="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555689-d-zsr_rvuay_cgh-orig.jpg"><img src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/square_avatar/1585/15855271/3555689-d-zsr_rvuay_cgh-orig.jpg" alt="Gallery image 1" data-full-srcset="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555689-d-zsr_rvuay_cgh-orig.jpg 1080w, https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scal...h-orig.jpg 720w, https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scal...h-orig.jpg 540w"></a><a href="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555690-d-zsej8vuaykfee-orig.jpg"><img src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/square_avatar/1585/15855271/3555690-d-zsej8vuaykfee-orig.jpg" alt="Gallery image 2" data-full-srcset="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555690-d-zsej8vuaykfee-orig.jpg 1080w, https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scal...e-orig.jpg 960w"></a><a href="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555691-d-zsej8u0amn3t7-orig.jpg"><img src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/square_avatar/1585/15855271/3555691-d-zsej8u0amn3t7-orig.jpg" alt="Gallery image 3" data-full-srcset="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555691-d-zsej8u0amn3t7-orig.jpg 1080w, https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scal...7-orig.jpg 960w"></a><a href="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555692-d-zsej9u8aa09b4-orig.jpg"><img src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/square_avatar/1585/15855271/3555692-d-zsej9u8aa09b4-orig.jpg" alt="Gallery image 4" data-full-srcset="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1585/15855271/3555692-d-zsej9u8aa09b4-orig.jpg 1080w, https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scal...4-orig.jpg 960w"></a></figure><p>Actress Yvette Nicole Brown (Drake & Josh, Avengers: Endgame) will <a href="https://twitter.com/YNB/status/1145777818053177344">moderate the panel</a>.
