when Sarah J Maasauthor of best-selling young adult fantasy series A court of thorns and rosesannounced that it would adapt the series for television with Hulu (with Ronald D. Moore producer), “ACOTAR” fans took to BookTok to share their feelings. Then came the most exciting part of all: the fan casts and some names keep popping up again and again.

Feyre

Feyre Archeron is the female protagonist of the series A Court of Thorns and Roses. She’s handy with a bow and arrow, cares deeply for her two sisters, and is totally human—well, to begin with, anyway. Feyre’s life changes irrevocably when she stumbles into the realm of faeries and straight into the arms of the High Lord of the Spring Court.

Feyre is young and fierce with an understated beauty, and thinks BookTok Alycia Debnam-Carey it’s perfect for paper. Alycia played Alicia Clark Be afraid of zombies and Lexa The 100. She is also set to star in another book-to-screen adaptation, playing Alice Alice Hart’s Lost Flowers. Honorable mention goes to Danielle Rose Russellbetter known as legacies‘ Hope Mikaelson, whose name has also been thrown into the mix for Feyre.

tamlin

Tamlin is the golden-haired High Lord of the Spring Court. He’s a bit of a shut-in, but develops a thing for Feyre after she’s taken from his home in retribution for the accidental killing of one of her sentinels. It’s all very Beauty and the Beast.

The overwhelming consensus about BookTok is this Austin Butler should play Tamlin. She has the golden locks, the mysterious fire, and the commanding presence needed for Tamlin. Austin nailed the role of Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmannbiopic, so playing a king shouldn’t be a problem. Honorable mention goes to Jamie Campbell Bower, who stars Strange things‘big bad, Vecna.

Lucien

Lucien is Tamlin’s right-hand man. Originally from the Autumn Court, he left due to a conflict with his father and joined the Spring Court. His flaming red hair and kind demeanor, especially towards Feyre, make him hard to cast.

But the fans think Booboo Stewart it’s about work. She’s got luscious hair that would look fabulous with Lucien’s shade of red: Booboo got her big break playing heartthrob Seth Clearwater in the twilight Saga, and this role would lend itself well to this one. Honorable mention goes to King Jean Page, BridgertonThe Duke of Hastings, who would look great in a red wig.

Elaine

Elain Archeron is Feyre’s sweet little sister. She is described as delicate and beautiful, with a kind soul and a talent for gardening. She is her father’s favorite, and her relationship with him is the strongest of the three sisters.

BookTok fans would love to see Phoebe Dynevor in the role of Elain. Phoebe is best known for her role as Daphne in Bridgerton, but has starred in other hit TV shows such as Younger i Dickensian. Honorable mention goes to Taissa Farmigawho played Merricat in the gothic thriller We have always lived in the castle.

In that

Nesta Archeron is the eldest of the Archeron sisters and perhaps the fiercest. She is fiery and beautiful, but can be a bit abrasive at times. His relationship with Feyre is far from perfect, but deep down he loves his sister.

Fans believe that Nesta’s lethal beauty can only be matched Samara Weaving. Aussies will remember Samara as Indi Walker At home and awaybut most people know her as Jessica Chandler Nine perfect strangers. Honorable mention goes to Victoria Pedrettithe beautiful but deadly Love Quinn of you.

Rhysand

Rhysand is the tall, dark and mysterious High Lord of the Night Court. Although his appearances in the first book are brief, anyone who has read the entire series knows how pivotal he is. Feyre is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her.

Perhaps BookTok’s most controversial fan casting, it won’t be easy to please everyone with Rhysand’s casting. Despite this, Richard Deiss appears on BookTok over and over again. Richard is a French model who only has one acting role in the French film Irina The red briefcase. If that doesn’t work, fans like the idea Thomas Doherty as the High Lord of the Night, who played the vampire Sebastian in Legacies and Max Wolfe in the gossip girl reboot

cassian

Cassian is a member of the Night Court and Rhysand’s inner circle. Although he doesn’t appear much in the first book, fans are hoping to see him working in the first season of the series. Cassian is a gentle giant with long dark hair, bulging muscles and a goofy sense of humor.

BookTok wants to see the Turkish actor Can Yaman in the role of Cassian. Although Can has not acted in any English-language productions, he is fluent and has more than enough experience working on many Turkish and Italian projects. Honorable mention goes to Aquaman Jason Momoa, which embodies Cassian’s look and attitude.

Azriel

Azriel is another member of Rhysand’s inner circle. There is a brotherly camaraderie between Azriel, Cassian and Rhysand, where Rhysand is the leader, Cassian is the muscle and Azriel is the silent and deadly one. He can manipulate shadows, earning him the nickname Spymaster.

There’s no one BookTok wants to see more of Matthew Daddario in the role of Azriel. Matthew is no stranger to playing in the shadows: he starred as Alec Lightwood in the TV adaptation of Shadowhunters series He is also the brother of the divine Alexandra Daddario.

die

Mor is a member of the Night Court and Rhysand’s third in command. Feyre likes it when the mortal woman visits the Night Court, and they become fast friends. Mor is exceptionally powerful and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty for the sake of her court.

The fans think Claire Holt would make the perfect Mor. Claire is known for her role as Rebekah Mikaelson in the film vampire diaries universe Like Mor, Rebekah is loyal to her family and would do anything to protect them. Honorable mention goes to Florence Pughanother badass lady who could make the character proud.

Amaranth

Amarantha is the evil fae queen who holds the entire kingdom hostage. She is charming and charismatic, but downright lethal, ruthless in her quest for more power. The fae are bound to their whims, until Feyre shows up.

think BookTok Madelaine Petsch could take on the role of Amarantha. His presence in Riverdale as Cheryl Blossom matches Amarantha’s, and her flowing red locks physically resemble the fae queen’s. Honorable mention for the French actress Eva Green.
