I would hope they find some entirely unknown actor Less predictable I'm ok with the supporting cast being unknowns but your lead role should really be filled by someone who is well known and will be an audience draw.

Sean Bean would be great but . . . . Geralt does not die Mads Mikkelsen might be good also

Why? It'd be a series which sells itself on name recoknition of the brand alone. How many series do you watch purely due to who is in it?

There's been a few but admittedly not that many. This is Marketing 101. As a general rule, you want to have at least one well known actor in your new show/movie in order to attract your initial audience. People will either stay with the show or dump it if they don't like it anyway but you want to have at least some name recognition with the cast in order to bring in the initial crowd. There are certain actors who have proven themselves to be a draw regardless of what type of film or show they are in.

I think it would probably be better on Cinemax. At night.
Bow-chicka-wow-wow.

I really hope Netflix stays true to the franchise. The sex and violence needs to be on par with that of GOT.

Manu Bennett. Plenty of sword and action experience from Spartacus, Arrow and Shannara, has a fan following and a good actor.
