Christmas Came Early: THE WITCHER Announces "6 Days Of Witchmas"

Netflix

We’re in the final countdown to Christmas, and Netflix has a little something for all you fans of The Witcher. The show’s official Twitter account announced the “six days of Witchmas”. The thread — which you can see blow — says starting December 15, and for six consecutive days, fans of the series can expect “gifts” (in the form of “content”). The “gifts” will be given out a day after fans are given the opportunity to vote. "You may choose to accept that gift, OR you may choose to invoke the Law of Surprise."

It all sounds pretty mysterious to me, and that’s okay. If it means new content in the form of Henry Cavill footage/photos I’m all for it. Reasons. Don’t judge. Keep going for the full Twitter thread below:

I come bearing an invitation to a special #Witchmas celebration!

You are cordially invited to the 6 DAYS OF WITCHMAS, a holiday feast where nobody has to mingle, and everybody receives a gift!

I have acquired these gifts by searching far and wide for the “content” that you so often request from me.

The presentation of these gifts will be dictated by #Witchmas tradition:

⚔️ On each of the 6 DAYS OF WITCHMAS, I will offer you a gift. You may choose to accept that gift, OR you may choose to invoke the Law of Surprise.

— The Witcher (@witchernetflix) December 14, 2020

⚔️ The decision will be made as a collective, based on a vote that will be held here. The winning choice will be revealed the following day – along with a new offering and another vote.

⚔️ Choose wisely, for my gift offers are sincere, but the Law of Surprise is out of my musically-gifted hands.

The 6 DAYS OF WITCHMAS will begin 16 December and end on 21 December. The first vote will be conducted on 15 December, the eve of the feast. Happy #Witchmas!

The Witcher is an adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's novel series of the same name. It follows the travels of Geralt of Rivia, a genetically and mystically enhanced monster hunter who travels the Continent, slaying monsters for coin.

Production on Season 2 of the series got underway back in August. Like many other series, it had to retool to accommodate COVID safety protocols. Even with all the safety measures in place production had to pause twice after positive COVID-19 tests. What's worse, star Henry Cavill has reportedly sustained a minor leg injury--and the production is continuing without him for the moment. The fantasy drama is expected to return to Netflix sometime in 2021.
