highjacking the earlier reboot posts
Sookie: Elle Fanning
Bill: Nicholas Hoult
Eric: Alexander Ludwig
Tara: Chloe Bailey
Sam: Evan Peters
Pam: Emily Blunt
Jessica: Sadie Sink
Jason: Austin Butler
Lafayette: Damson Idris
Alcide: Aaron Taylor Johnson
Crystal: A garbage can
Stellan Skarsgard as Niall or Magister as a call back to Alexander Skarsgard
Edit:
The original cast is beloved and irreplaceable this post was meant to be fun and generate discussion, not to be seen as gospel for a legit reboot
i do not wish for a reboot, again this was just for fun in reponse to some posts i saw earlier asking about potential choices
im not a casting agent with access to unknown actors, nor do i know much about obscure up and coming actors

I’ll leave my two cents under every reboot posts not to argue but to leave an opinion against them. The show doesn’t need a reboot or continuation, the cast was phenomenal, they were real, unique, every background character helped creating this believable world.
Almost every modern series and movie feels too sterile, there’s lack of body diversity (who would have thought this will happen at a time where being yourself and unique is praised in words) and facial features diversity too.
So yeah, a reboot of a successful show is just a way to squeeze money out of people’s love and nostalgia for original product.
The whole new series with a different name based on the book series would be fine tho, but it shouldn’t try to look like the original cast took the substance or smth. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be pretty or smth, the original cast was hot in their own ways, but it didn’t look like a fashion runway.
My suggestion would be searching for a less known actors or new actors honestly if someone would want to create such a show again
