Fans of the game and the live-action series have something to look forward to. Netflix partnered with CD Projekt Red to hold a virtual The Witcher convention on July 9.

In addition, there will be interactive panels that spotlight the creators of the games and the shows and exploration of The Witcher's lore. The convention will stream on both Netflix's and CD Projekt Red's YouTube and Twitch channels at 1PM ET, with a second stream at 9PM with more unique content.

You can stream 'Black Widow' on Disney+ at no extra cost on Oct. 6

As with Disney films like Mulan, Raya and the Last Dragon, and Cruella, Disney will offer the latest Marvel flick Black Widow on Disney+ at an additional fee when it lands in theatres on July 9. This Premier Access paywall allows those who want to watch the latest Disney films from the comforts of home when they're scheduled for theatrical releases. But, as with the other films, you'll need to pay an extra CAD 34.99 to access the film on top of your Disney+ subscription.

After some time, though, Disney will open access to these films without paying the extra fee. For Black Widow, that period will be on October 6. So, if you don't want to pay extra and are willing to wait for Black Widow's release, then you can wait a few more months to stream the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster.
