Netflix casts Ciri and Yennefer

The article explains that was only one of the several casting calls they made for the role.
She's not in the show, at least not in the first season
Thanks, couldn't read the article because some ads were completely blocking it.
I can see her playing the part. Must be going for young Ciri though. Wasn't expecting that, but it makes sense with Cavill's age.
Doesn't the actress for Yen look way too young?
Ciri looks great, very close to the video game character at least.

Based mostly on the books. Ciri is there a child a little more than a child later on. Yennefer looks like that because she wants to look like that.
They invited PoC to apply in one casting call (meaning as they weren't fixed on restricting the role to any particular race). The internet shit their britches about that in a way that made it seemed like they were fixed ON a PoC in the role.
Netflix posted this image on Facebook in my country:
And I guess someone must have read the whole thing after all, since it looks like they've come to the only proper conclusion and decided to adapt the short stories.
Good choices IMO, although Ciri and Yennefer look like they're in the same grade.

How I feel too.
Never seen these actresses before - here's hoping! With Cavill as well I'm really excited. Can't wait.
Show is based on the books, not the games. So Ciri's still a kid when Geralt is having adventures with Yen who's a witch and can be any age she desires, her actual age is unknown I believe. We shoudn't be really comparing them to the game's looks.
It's based on the original books/short stories, which are about 6/7 years before The Witcher 3 I believe
Looks pretty close to the Yen of the games. I feel good about this show.
Yep.. in the books Yenn is described as being great looking woman, who looks mature.. Triss is looking younger than Yennefer and she should be looking like in her early 20's.. Yenn should be like 30 (or in her 30's) when it comes to looks
Yikes my ass. A PoC in a major role instead of relegated to a secondary character? Excuse me for having an opinion.
Didn't know that! So Yen could be an old hag under her magic, like the Game of Thrones priestess?
Cool.
That's not the actress they casted, that's his suggestion of who it should be. Extremely misleading.
Ciri looks incredibly too young but it could work.
So thats the same woman as Yen in both pictures?
