Episode 3.05 is entitled “Trouble” and a casting call for 4 new characters has been sent out.
SPOILER ALERT
Read it after the cut. You are allowed to post spoilers in the comments.
ULFRICK In his 40s to 50s.. warm, a battle-scarred Swedish Viking king, he is Eric’s (Alex Sarsgård) father, seen in a flashback to 900 A.D. Though they have a good relationship, there is some tension between father and son, because Ulfrick wants Eric to learn responsibility and behave in a manner befitting royalty…GUEST STAR
COLONEL JOHN FLOOD In his 50s to 60s.. self-assured, dressed like a golfer with a military haircut, he is a Wolf Pack Leader. He doesn’t respond the way Sookie and Alcide expect to recent events…GUEST STAR
ASTRID In her 30s, warm, a Swedish Viking queen with a new baby, she is Eric’s (Alex Sarsgård) mother, seen in a flashback to 900 A.D…GUEST STAR
SUMMER In her early 20s, super positive, she’s a nice girl from Hoyt’s church who’s attracted to Hoyt in a chaste way…2 lines, 1 scene
Well, certainly Ulfrick should be played by Stellan Skarsgard!!

well I *think* Alex made mention quite some time ago someone close to him and someone he admired greatly would be making a guest appearance…..
So yeah, I’m with you Sterling.

It would be a treat to have Stellan play the father. *crossing my fingers*

Col. John Flood has peaked my interest – wonder what this role is about?

His storyline will go with Alcide’s….now I wonder if they will cast Alcide’s dad as well now.
[Reply]
Oh yes.. agreed. Stellan should be cast in this role…
[Reply]
Stellen would be perfect. I think that is who Alex was hinting around if a certain person was cast.
Gerald McRaney would be perfect as Col. Flood. He is the right age and plays military / authoritive types very well. I can see him as Flood.

If they were going to have stellan, why would they put out a casting call

maybe just to throw us “trubies” off. I think they know we are all just a few steps ahead on these possible castings. LOL

i am all for stellan. think it would be great to have father and son work together, and then we can see just how much they look like!!!

Spoiler……
Interesting that Col Flood is coming in S3. Looks like they are blending in Book 4 storylines already. Neat.

When I heard that TB had be renewed for two seasons I wondered if AB would combine books 3, 4, and 5 into seasons 3 and 4. From a casting point of view it would make sense to do books 3 and 5 back-to-back. Combining all three in a 24 episode arc would make quite a roller coaster ride!

Season 3 sounds like it’s going to be fun. We get to see Eric before he was changed. Now I hope we get to see Bill before he was changed.

We did see Bill before he was changed in episode 5 of season 1. But since they cast his wife for episode 1 or 2 this season, I’m pretty sure we will see Human Bill.
