In this episode, we dive deep into the world of fan casting as we imagine which actors could bring some of our favourite books, characters and fictional worlds to life on screen. From long-time beloved series to cult favourites and underrated gems, we explore who we think has the presence, charm or sheer acting range to embody these roles. Along the way, we discuss what makes a great adaptation, why certain characters are harder to cast than others and how personal imagination shapes the actors we picture in our heads.

We also compare our picks, debate a few questionable choices and reflect on why fan casting is such a fun part of engaging with stories we love. Whether you enjoy dreaming up your own fantasy cast lists or simply want to hear us champion our favourite characters, this episode offers a lively and enthusiastic exploration of fictional worlds and the performers who might bring them to life.
