I think there might be some surprises, based on what Sapkowski told the showrunner. Kinda how, eight books in, Dandelion suddenly turned out to be blonde.

Casting for The Witcher Netflix Series Has Officially Begun
- Thread starter emir
- Start date
I have only read a bit (40%) of the books, but Dijkstra will be most likely in the series. I'm not sure about Thaler and Roche.
Thaler and Roche are a no, they are original characters from the videogames
Dijkstra is likely a yes, but not until at least season 3 or 4.
Itll be interesting to see how they go. Are they even going based on source material? Or loosely based?
According to the announcement it's going to be pretty much a direct adaptation of the books. Though the first two books are mostly unconnected short stories, so there might be some original material in there.
ah got it
i'll keep my cast for Dijkstra for the next seasons then
Its too late. My heart already casted these two.
Sorry Trish fans
Dont worry, neither the books nor the 3rd game treat Trish as canon.
Trish fans dont have a leg to stand on.
Also, holy shit that last 2 really look like banter between Geralt and Yen lol
No, its going to tell the story of the books, the games are sequels to the last book (non canon if you talk with sapkowski, but you can treat them as such and it wouldnt matter).
Wouldnt surprise me if they start with the first small stories, mixing it with some of the last wish and sword of destiny more important chapters, to present yen and really young Ciri.
Blood of Elves is were all the big story stuff starts to happen and when kid Ciri starts to be a main characters. Wouldnt surprise me if the leave that for a second season.

The one true perfect answer. Do it!The one and only please:
That's really interesting. I can't even imagine either of those characters sounding like Mikkelsen without some serious changes to their characterization, especially Doom's.
OK, that is kind of irresistible. If Netflix's trial of the grasses involves splicing would-be witchers with some cat DNA, then I'm on board.
I've only recently started reading the books but Mads is exactly how I imagine the witcher sounding and looking like.
His roles in "The Hunt" and "Hannibal" have showed me two sides of his acting that fit so well in Gerald. A playful and honest side and a freaking scary side.
This is netflix we are talking about. Who is known for spending 200+ million on individual show seasons.
PLEASE YES THIS YES PLEASEThe one and only please:
Or some surprising newcomer if they're solid. Mads is the dream tho.
User Warned : Unnecessary Hostility.
Ok why the fuck do people feel the need to just straight out waste time and post stupid inane shit. Fabio? Cage? If you have nothing to contribute fuck right on off.
It is the stupidest thing to have to wade through and it happens in so many threads
But Geralt is only scary when he's doped up on elixirs. That should be a job for the SFX department, not the actor's genetics.
Oh, believe me, I don't want him to be played by some random hunk, but there has to be a middle ground between Prince Charming and the kind of slimy manipulators Mikkelsen was born to play.
Geralt is already a weird-looking depressive simpleton. Surely he'd at least have to have an attractive voice. I know it's a fantasy series, but I don't know if I could suspend my disbelief to endure the romance subplots if he's also a lispy mumbler.
whoa whoa, calma señor. it's only words on a screen, don't pop a blood vessel. gee whiz
Bit of a late bump, but just saw this on twitter and thought "that's about as close to Geralt" as I've seen for an actor so far.
Wonder when we'll start hearing the casting choices? Like for anyone who knows how long is it usually between casting calls to the announcements for shows?

Wow, I loved the guy on Black Sails, but never thought of him as Geralt. I'll be honest, he would actually be an amazing choice, both physically and personality/voice-wise. He might be a bit too tall to play Wolverine though.
Charles Vane rocks but its too...1:1 with the videogame performance (which I love). I think it would be more interesting seeing a different performance for Geralt.
that tends to happen with fancasting. a lot of people (including myself) just want it to be exactly like what they saw before.

I had to google BAME...so, they're trying to make Ciri non-white...that is a bold move.
