Recasting happens far more often in television than many viewers realize. In this Recasting video | Nerdy Note, I break down what recasting is, why it happens, and explore real examples from well-known TV shows across different eras.

This Nerdy Note covers recasting cases from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Boston Blue, Superman & Lois, and Star Wars series including Andor and Ahsoka. From scheduling conflicts to creative decisions and unexpected circumstances, this episode explains how studios continue stories even when actors change.

If you enjoy behind-the-scenes TV details, film and franchise discussions, and thoughtful nerdy breakdowns, this episode is for you.
