The Witcher Season 2: Game of Thrones Becomes On-Set Cautionary Tale

When it comes to keeping fans up-to-date when it comes to production on the second season of Netflix's The Witcher, showrunner/executive producer Lauren S. Hissrich doesn't have to take a backseat to anyone. From the moment there was word that work on the season was starting up, Hissrich offered fans both personal and professional perspectives on what it takes to get the series purring again. One thing that's impressed us the most is how the social media community approach offers a look at not just the day-to-day machinations but also the little things that have profound creative impacts on how the production flows.

Perfect example? A tweet posted on Hissrich that reminds us once again that though the HBO series may have shuffled off the programming coil, Game of Thrones has made a lasting impression that has changed the very way series go about the business of world-building. David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, we toast a tankard of java in your honor for your beloved series becoming the cautionary tale for years to come. Here's a look at Hissrich's post, proving that an "only appropriate beverage for the time period on set" policy is safely in play:
