Finally. I have absolutely no idea who these guys are, but it's nice to be able to visualise them in the roles at least.

Dunk and egg is a great story, but I'm going to need to see who is producing/ directing.

Its going to need to have a strong 'Witcher' style vibe. Its a comedy, much more so than GoT.

I agree with the sentiment, but I hope it doesn't go too hard on the Witcher vibes. That show, was...well not good.

There's a very narrow line that I hope they can tread that both tells an engaging and interesting story whilst also keeping it fun and approachable. I think the Witcher failed to walk that line.
