Prior to the official casting announcements, fans clamored for Star Wars alum Mark Hamill to take on the role of Vesemir, the Continent’s oldest and most experienced witcher.
The Witcher Season 1 proved to be a huge success for Netflix, introducing author Andrzej Sapkowski’s fantasy world to a whole new audience that invested a lot of attention (and memes).
Killing Eve star Kim Bodnia was ultimately cast in the role, but resurfaced rumors suggest that two major actors actually passed on the role of Vesemir before Bodnia’s casting.
Naturally, the pressure was on to land perfect cast additions for Season 2.
