I don't give a shit what they look like, as long as the best performing people who applied got the job.
But they do all look good.

A quick google suggests the actress playing Yen is 22ish. This series should have been a coup for numerous roles for women over 30, but Hollywood gonna Hollywood.
Hmm, Chalotra looks a bit "meek" to play Yen. But if she can act the part, that's more important than looking it based on not-in-character shots.
She does seem a bit too young though...

So based on the casting...does the show take place before the events of the first Witcher game? Seems to me like it would, looking at these characters.
Because that's how Yen looks like in the books. This is not gonna adapt TW3.
EDIT: To clarify, I mean what she looks like in terms of age.
For Christ's sake, the books have all the sorceresses deaging themselves til they look like they're on their early 20s. Ciri is a kid in the books. A bunch of the female characters cast are also teenagers on the books. This is not meant to be an adaptation of TW3.
Nice cast. Maybe they could age Yen a bit.
No Julian Alfred Pankratz, Viscount of Lettenhove this season i guess?

I'm just gonna find it hard to look at someone who barely looks older than a teenager being imperious and prickly like Yen, is the main issue. Maybe she'll nail it, but I was definitely thinking someone more in the Katie McGrath dimension than this based on my experiences with the character in writing and in the games.
Aside from Sean Bean, GoT's cast was a whole lot of nobodies. Most of the characters that are still alive in season 8 have started from absolutely nothing.
Games take place chronologically after the end of the main novels. Some years later if I recall plus the time in-game that passes by.
This takes place somewhere around the books (assume the beginning)
He's way more handsome than like 99% of the planet to be fair.
I didn't expect it to have the same budget as GoT, but look at the cast of another Netflix show like House of Cards. I guess it's probably gonna be more expensive to shoot this as opposed to something like House of Cards, and I'm not against using more unknown actors I just thought this was a bigger deal for Netflix.
I never got that impression. I remember that among the witches, Keira and Triss are the ones who are specifically described as looking youthful compared to the others. It'd be kinda hard to make that distinction when Yennefer already looks that young.
The actress is 22 which is the age she's supposed to look like in the books.
I don't recall where I saw it but I remember precisely that someone had said that woman was going to play Yennifer.
Geralt doesn't exactly look "age appropriate" for all the young women he sleeps with in the games. He's a sinewy old man.
If you shwed me this picture
and told me that the first man is in love with the second girl, I'd think it's an underage sexual assault story.
I'm sure she will look older though.
How old is she anyway?
Yeah, Anya looks way too young for Cavill. According to a quick search, she's 22 and he's 35. I know Yen is basically ageless and stuff but it's gonna look super awkward for a 22 year old that still looks like a teenager to be in a romantic relationship with an grizzled old man with grey hair.
It wasn't ever a POC. It was just anyone minority group. Could have been a polish girl.
I like Triss more, but that's mostly just because we got more games with her whereas Yen was entirely locked to the third game.
That's what I was hoping for as well. Yennefer looking like she's in her late 30s would still be an amazing feat of magickery, instead it's gonna be a show about 40-90-year-olds who look younger the older they got.
Isnt Geralt and Yennifer supposed to be father and mother figures for Ciri?
That would be a weird thing considering Yen would look like almost she is just a couple of years older than young Ciri.

And Triss is supposed to be like Ciri's sister. Didn't stop Geralt from fucking.
Was it mentioned like that in the books? Obviously she's supposed to look beautiful but that doesn't mean she can't look mature.
"And the rebellious Renfri sets incredible events into motion".
Goddamn, they're going to do this in the pilot, aren't they?
Hype.

I've read the books. Where is she described as looking like a 20y/o? I don't remember that, but I could be wrong.
I know the sorceresses de-age themselves and "fix" physical deformities with magic. But Yennefer is old, regardless of how she looks. I could be wrong - we'll see once the show hits - but I didn't imagine someone with Yennefer's standing, experience and power looking like she's barely out of her teens.
True suffering is knowing that we'll never get Dawyne "The Rock" Johnson as Ciri and Bruce Willis as Yen. Why even bother going on?
