Netflix's American adaptation of The Witcher is still a few months away, but it has already become a hot topic in recent times, largely due to its casting. Geralt of the Lost universe may have a unique flavor, but Anya's Yennefer is hard for many gamers to accept. Recently, the show's producer Lauren S. Hissrich was interviewed and explained the casting. In the interview, Hissrich revealed that the team never had a "designated candidate" in mind when casting. "We welcome anyone to prove themselves to us. As for the story of The Witcher itself, its background from the beginning is a huge new world, which is different from the composition of our world." Hissrich went on to point out that she doesn't really care about a person's skin color, accent or hair color when casting, the only factor she considers is whether he or she can do the role, which is also a topic she has been discussing with the original author Andrzej Sapkowski. "I hope that when people watch The Witcher, they'll see a lot of stereotypes being twisted in all sorts of different ways. I didn't care about people's skin color, accents, etc. when I cast them, and when I discussed it with the author Andrzej, he didn't specify the specific race of the protagonists. I think this is a recognition that we can cast the characters as we wish." According to official information previously released, Netflix's "The Witcher" will be launched in the fourth quarter of 2019, with a total of 8 episodes in the first season. |
