Some of the casting scripts for Netflix`s upcoming TV show based on The Witcher have leaked, though you shouldn`t get too excited. The scripts that leaked are for the purposes of casting, so the dialogue is unlikely to be featured in the actual show. These scripts, called `Sides` in the TV casting parlance, are given to potential actors to see what they`re capable of. The casting scripts that leaked involve a pair of scenes with Geralt and Yennefer. These may be lines and scenarios that won`t be in the final TV show, but this is the first time we`re getting an understanding of the show`s writing style and more.Some took issue with the way in which Geralt speaks to Yennefer. Showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich defended the writing, saying on Twitter, `We write scenes to evoke specific emotional reactions in actors. Ego, jealousy, confidence, pain, pleasure. We need to see the full spectrum.`And again, she pointed out that what is written for the casting scripts is not what you`ll see and hear on the show itself. Hissrich also said she expected the casting scripts to leak. `It happened. As we knew it would. Don`t worry. All is okay in the Witcher world,` she said.You can read the casting scripts here on Reddit (via IGN).Remember when I said that casting sides would leak and not to worry because they are not real scenes or scenarios or even storylines from the show? It happened. As we knew it would. Donīt worry. All is okay in the #Witcher world. - Lauren S. Hissrich (@LHissrich) August 15, 2018It`s fascinating to watch the PASSIONATE debate about Geralt`s and Yen`s thoughts/emotions/intentions on the casting sides. Everything from `this reads like canon` to `Geralt would NEVER say that word.` I only hope #Witcher fans are as invested in the, you know, actual series.
