General
Lauren Hisrich, showrunner of The Witcher, will hold an AMA today.

If you're wondering why that happened to Netflix's "The Witcher" series, or where the second season is headed, showrunner Lauren Hisrich will clarify the situation in an AMA on Reddit starting today at 2:30pm PT/5:30pm ET.

"I've been a fan of this show for a long time.

"I will provide a thorough explanation, details if known, and additional background on what has been decided. Some of you may not like it, but I love it. When that happens, I'm not going to make excuses about the production schedule or anything else. I will explain why I like it and why it worked for me," said Hisrich. 'I don't mind if you disagree. It doesn't make me an idiot. It simply means we disagree."

The AMA will last one hour, after which Hissich will "get on a plane to S2." She took questions in the order they were submitted and promised not to skip any of them, but because the session was relatively short, she also asked that participants be considerate of each other and keep their questions "limited in scope."

Nor would she respond to complaints (or, for that matter, compliments): but to have someone who dislikes the program suddenly say, "Wait, I was wrong!" ' I don't think it's anyone's time to try to make them say that."

She also says, "I don't think it's a good idea.

While the bulk of the Q&A session will undoubtedly focus on the first season, there may also be room for insight into season two. Hisrich, who previously said that the show's seventh season is already set, has already thrown out some (admittedly small) hints about what will happen next, including that the show will begin to address the decline of both monsters and witchers, who feature heavily in the books and games.

"Season 1 spans about 30 years for Geralt, so it's not like the monsters have been extinct for all that time," Hisrich wrote.

"But in Season 2 (in both cases) we'll delve deeper.

It is also interesting to note that the AMA will not take place on The Witcher subreddit, but on r/wiedzmin, a bilingual (English and Polish) subreddit dedicated to in-depth discussions about the Witcher world, including books, games, and even old Polish TV shows It is also interesting to note that: "Hissrich chose this sub for AmA because we are the most critical group regarding how different the film adaptation is from the book, and she seems genuinely interested in the opinions of those familiar with the short story and novel."
