June 28 (UPI) -- Netflix and CD Projekt Red have announced a schedule for WitcherCon.

The virtual event, which celebrates The Witcher television and video game series, will take place July 9.

WitcherCon will feature panels with The Witcher cast and crew and CD Projekt Red developers. It will include a spotlight conversation with Henry Cavill, who plays Geralt of Rivia in the Witcher TV series.

Netflix's Witcher TV series is based on the Andrzej Sapkowski fantasy book series. The book series was previously adapted as a video game series developed by CD Projekt Red.

The Witcher follows Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter known as a Witcher. The TV series is created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and co-stars Freya Allan, Anya Chalotra and Joey Batey.

WitcherCon will feature the following panels:

Geralt of T-Rivia, featuring Hissrich, Błażej Augustynek, Philipp Weber and Declan De Barra. The key creators of the video games and TV series will test their knowledge of The Witcher universe during a pub-quiz style game featuring behind-the-scenes tidbits and spoilery sneak peeks.

CD Projekt Red's The Witcher: Beyond Video Games, featuring Rafał Jaki, Bartosz Sztybor and Łukasz Woźniak. CD Projekt Red devs will discuss The Witcher's expanded universe of upcoming comic books and a board game.
