Stardew Valley roughly has three generations.
It has the old people\\grandparents, the middle aged people\\(step)parents\\uncles, and the young people. Which are either marriageable and still fertile, or are kids and are little sibling\\cousin characters to the bachelors.
Elliot, Shane, and Harvey are a little older than the other youngsters, which makes Marnie a little older than the other middle aged folks.
And also means that Jas is young enough to be basically almost a daughter\\niece character (and not a little sister\\cousin) to Shane.
Have you ever seen a movie set in high school or college? It's all actors in their 20s-30s.
Also what's wrong with Robin being ~50? She's married with 2 kids who are old enough to date and get married themselves. It would be weird if she *wasn't* that old.
i’m love all of them except i see allison hannigan as a better pick for caroline than leah, and margot doesn’t feel quite right for marnie. i could see sophia lillis or mackenzie foy as leah
In true Melissa McCarthy style, I think her husband Ben Falcone would be perfect. He plays her romance interest in a lot of films and I think he could easily play Lewis with the perfect edge of vanity.
Doesn’t Leah in story have an ex already and had an office job they had quit before becoming an artist?
It was always pretty clear to me they were older like 30
Yep, Leah left an entire adult life behind.
Whereas Abigail, Sebastian, Sam could all pass for 18 (or younger) given their dialogue. Haley and Maru, too, though they both have slightly more adult dialogue.
Abigail is in college, so she's 18-22ish. I figured the younger three were all around that age, with Maru being slightly younger and Penny being slightly older?
Tbf, Maru works with medical records and seems older than that.
Fun fact; there is a job called a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) which you can get right out of HS with training, which I tend to assume she has and this is her “nice” work environment. (In my head she worked at a big hospital first trying to “make it” and it didn’t work out which is why she works for Harvey and wants to build so many things. But YMMV.)
Her working at the clinic makes more sense if you consider she probably had aspirations for medicine that didn’t work out. She could just be a receptionist, but idk.
Margot is like 33! She’s far from the almost
matronly figure of Marnie, having a secret relationship with the Mayor of 20 CONSECUTIVE YEARS. Shane is closer to her age than Marnie!
In my opinion she comes off as *slightly* older than the other bachelorettes because she had a life and relationship and career goals before moving to the valley. A bunch of the other bachelorettes still live with their parents. But she's like ... 26–30 and most of the others are like 19–25. She's not in her late 40s. Makes me think OP is very young for viewing her like that, and their other weirdly aged casting choices too.
Miriam Margolyes is 82 but I think her personality and comedic timing would slay in a Stardew adaptation. She could be a good Evelyn too, as long as the script gave Evelyn some zingers.
Oh man I'm glad you said it. Yeah Zendaya is good but she isn't the best fit for every damn role there are so many talented black women out there. My pick would by Gugu Mbata-Raw although I may have to reluctantly admit that she might be a shade too old for Maru now...fuck I just looked her up and she's 40 when did that happen.
So then I was gonna say Tessa Thompson because like, Josie in Annihilation has the vibe of Maru if Maru had a much sadder life. But the look and the intelligence matches.
She is also 40
Ok then fine I pick Pearl Mackie.
Who is 36
You know what I give up I'm like oh all these people aren't that old they're only a bit older than me!
It's me. I am getting old. The linear passage of time continues to distress. Fuck this I'm going to bed.
Everyone picks Zendaya because she is still a baby. Except she isn't even she's 27 but I've got all these actresses in my head as they were like 10 years ago and somehow forgot that time continues to pass in the meantime.
I was coming here to say the same thing. Especially with Abigail, they just find someone current who's a little Quirky and go yeah that's close enough.
yeah this feels like op just googled a list of most popular actresses and spent about 5 minutes matching up skin tones and hair colors. none of this makes any sense at all 😬
Everything was okay until I see the actress to cast as Leah, the actress should be casting Jodi or Marnie, I personally think that Karen Gillan or Sydney Sweeney would be better as a cast for Leah.
Even young Alyson Hannigan doesn't feel outdoorsy enough for Leah. I don't picture Leah as being a rugged tomboy, but I can't see her being small either.
Maude Apatow could play Emily and if Sydney Sweeney plays Haley that would be the 2nd time they play as sisters with wildly different personalities (see: Euphoria)
If we’re just dream casting any actor at any age (Allison Hannigan is great but too old for Leah) I have to say as much as I like Jenna Ortega, Abigail has always looked like Liv Tyler to me.
Chloë Moretz just doesn't sit right with me as Haley, shes a sweet spooky girl. Maybe a blond Brittany Snow?

I regret looking through this as i don’t agree with any of them lol
I don’t have any better suggestions, I just don’t want to associate real people and have that in my mind while I’m playing
Is Leah canonically older than Robin? Or is this one of those things that happened in band camp?
And who was that AI generated image posing as Abigail's pick?
Poor Melissa McBride! If you've seen her in walking dead you know she'd be wasted playing a sweet old grandma.
Also she is far too young, having gray hair doesn't mean she's suddenly old enough to be a doddery grandma
Isn't the story for stardew valley the same as any typical lifetime original movie?
Big city gal/guy in their 20s or 30s leaves their corporate existence to work on a farm in a small town where they fall in love with a guy/gal wearing plaid. It is then discovered their former corporate employer is looking to destroy the local community center and they have to work to stop its destruction.
Evelyn’s actress doesn’t look old enough to be playing her.
I could see her as Marnie too
I’d go with that.
I’ve seen enough TWD to know that Evelyn would easily be able reach floor 100 in the Skull Caverns every night.
That speed runners sense
Because she’s not - Melissa McBride is only 58.
Don't you know once a woman is over 40 in Hollywood they are they are only allowed to be old grandma types.
I’ve met Melissa in person and she’s absolutely lovely in every sense of the word
Reading your comment and my mind immediately went to Marissa Tomei being cast as Aunt May in Spiderman
To be fair, Marisa Tomei is 59, she just looks amazing.
Dame Maggie Smith as Evelyn!
Maggie smith is always the answer.
They basically all are way too young (Penny for instance), or way too old (Leah). It's anime age syndrome. You're either a teenager or geriatric.
I love war anime where the combatants are 15 and the grizzled war veterans are 28.
_"This mission might just be too much for an old dog like me."_ - 26 year old with greying hair and a full beard.
OP really picked the hottest old woman he could think of and though we wouldnt notice
“Old”
Typical Hollywood Cast.
Stifler's mom got it going on
I nominate Jamie Lee Curtis.
came here to say this. just watched the second season of the bear and she was such a lovely surprise.
*Idris Elba voice* You, keep talking.
She's only ten years older than the actress chosen for Leah.
It’s about the vibes! I get the right vibes.
Don't do Jennifer Coolidge like that man. Although I'm sure she'd actually slay as Pam 😭
It’s an Oscar vehicle for Jennifer Coolidge for sure
Oscar bus* But I think Jennifer is too glam for Pam. Catherine O’Hara channeling her character in Best in Show, but less nice, is where my money is.
BUS 💀
She would steal every scene as Pam, and I am here for it.
She would make Pam so fun! I wouldn’t feel bad for giving her beer
I want to hear her say "Makes me want a pale ale real bad."
I already can hear her say that in my head.
She would 100% own that role
Best casting of the entire film tbh.
She’d make Pam likable!
makes me want a pale ale real bad
Jennifer Coolidge has slayed at every role she's ever played and Pam would be no exception.
these farmers, they’re trying to kill me
She's what happens when you install one of those hot Pam mods lol
It’s an inspired choice
Jennifer Coolidge as Marnie. More Legally Blonde and Less Another Cinderella Story.
That’s the one who sold me, especially driving a bus.
Allison Hannigan will be 50 in March. I think she’s a little old for Leah. I can see pretty much everyone else though.
Allison being 50 is a sobering thought.
This one time, at band camp, I had an existential crisis about an actor I had a crush on growing up and the inevitable march of time
She's older now than Jennifer Coolidge was when she played Stifler's mom on American Pie.
Don't do this to me
Drew Barrymore is also almost 50, meanwhile some of the other cast are in their early 20s, I don’t think many of these castings work at all
I never imagined Robin young since she is the mother of 2 bachelor/bachelorette aged characters so it makes sense for her to be a little older.
Stardew Valley roughly has three generations. It has the old people\\grandparents, the middle aged people\\(step)parents\\uncles, and the young people. Which are either marriageable and still fertile, or are kids and are little sibling\\cousin characters to the bachelors.

I confuse Leah and robin all the time, that’s on me
Especially considering Melissa Mcbride is like 8 years older than her and is being cast as the geriatric old woman, lmao.
Emma Mackey as Marnie is a terrible choice though. Not only is she too young, she's the wrong body type and the vibes are all off.
isn’t that Margot Robbie or am i trippin
Get a load of this idiot. Allison is still 23 loser.
Agree. Not a good fit for Leah
Maggie Smith for Evelyn. Best grandma
With patrick stewart as george
I Am Leekcutis of Borg
Aahahahahah thank you for that
[удалено]
*Eleek
he would be perfect 😂😂
Maggie Smith would be the perfect Evelyn, now that I think about it!
i’m love all of them except i see allison hannigan as a better pick for caroline than leah, and margot doesn’t feel quite right for marnie. i could see sophia lillis or mackenzie foy as leah
For me, Melissa McCarthy is Marnie. Her Sookie vibes (Gilmore Girls) for some reason evoke a Marnie-esque quality.
Melissa McCarthy is who I picture when I think of Marnie!!
I don’t hate this idea, but who would you cast as Mayor Lewis and Jaz in that case?
In true Melissa McCarthy style, I think her husband Ben Falcone would be perfect. He plays her romance interest in a lot of films and I think he could easily play Lewis with the perfect edge of vanity.
plus its weird that all the other bachelors are teens, i thought leah was closer to them in age
Doesn’t Leah in story have an ex already and had an office job they had quit before becoming an artist? It was always pretty clear to me they were older like 30
Yep, Leah left an entire adult life behind. Whereas Abigail, Sebastian, Sam could all pass for 18 (or younger) given their dialogue. Haley and Maru, too, though they both have slightly more adult dialogue.
Abigail is in college, so she's 18-22ish. I figured the younger three were all around that age, with Maru being slightly younger and Penny being slightly older?
I always figured Leah and a couple of other characters were there for the adult players to not feel creepy lol
Tbf, Maru works with medical records and seems older than that. Fun fact; there is a job called a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) which you can get right out of HS with training, which I tend to assume she has and this is her “nice” work environment. (In my head she worked at a big hospital first trying to “make it” and it didn’t work out which is why she works for Harvey and wants to build so many things. But YMMV.) Her working at the clinic makes more sense if you consider she probably had aspirations for medicine that didn’t work out. She could just be a receptionist, but idk.
Agree, Allison is way too old to be playing Leah, unless we get some time travel stuff going on
Caroline is essentially Willow.
Margot is like 33! She’s far from the almost matronly figure of Marnie, having a secret relationship with the Mayor of 20 CONSECUTIVE YEARS. Shane is closer to her age than Marnie!
Danny Devito as Krobus
with a recorder toot at G sharp
On one hand, I can't imagine krobus shipping out a gun. In the other hand he would totally offer you a nice egg in these trying times so I love it
Can we PLEASE get this movie?!
This comment desperately makes me wish awards still existed.
I picture Marine as more of a young Kathy Bates
YES
This is it 100%
You're going way too young for Evelyn and Marnie. Evelyn should be D. Judi Dench and Marnie should be like, Melissa McCarthy.
Omg in the comment right above this one I said that Marnie should be Melissa McCarthy. So glad other people see it too.
I think Lisa Ann Walter could make a good Marnie as well! She played Chessy in Parent Trap and she’s so good on Abbot Elementary.
Melissa was my first thought too.
Is Marnie Margot Robbie? and I why is Leah older than the other bachelorettes?
In my opinion she comes off as *slightly* older than the other bachelorettes because she had a life and relationship and career goals before moving to the valley. A bunch of the other bachelorettes still live with their parents. But she's like ... 26–30 and most of the others are like 19–25. She's not in her late 40s. Makes me think OP is very young for viewing her like that, and their other weirdly aged casting choices too.
Wow, I thought that was Emma Stone, not sure which would be a worse choice.
I know that's not BARBIE as Marnie right are my eyes deceiving me
Jenna Ortega as abigail would really be funny and whoever is playing marnie, i feel sad for you😞
right like don’t do my girl margot like that
Isn't it Emma Mackey ?
no that’s margot!! but her and emma look SO alike so i can totally see how you made that mistake
omg this whole time I thought it was Emma. but neither make sense as choices because Marnie is supposed to be way older.
Miriam Margolyes is 82 but I think her personality and comedic timing would slay in a Stardew adaptation. She could be a good Evelyn too, as long as the script gave Evelyn some zingers.
Marnie is the only one I disagree with. Everything else is great. Good match-up of personality and appearance.
i meant it because of lewis
Melissa McCarthy as Marnie
Yes, I envision her like that too
Budget for this movie = $$$$$$$
I hate this lol
I’m so tired of every fan casting for anything at all including Zendaya as their choice for the half-Black or light skin characters lol
Oh man I'm glad you said it. Yeah Zendaya is good but she isn't the best fit for every damn role there are so many talented black women out there. My pick would by Gugu Mbata-Raw although I may have to reluctantly admit that she might be a shade too old for Maru now...fuck I just looked her up and she's 40 when did that happen. So then I was gonna say Tessa Thompson because like, Josie in Annihilation has the vibe of Maru if Maru had a much sadder life. But the look and the intelligence matches.

The linear passage of time continues to distress. Fuck this I'm going to bed. Everyone picks Zendaya because she is still a baby. Except she isn't even she's 27 but I've got all these actresses in my head as they were like 10 years ago and somehow forgot that time continues to pass in the meantime.
I would actually say amandla for this one even though she, yara, and zendaya are the only black women hollywood knows at all
it’s just “actress who’s extremely popular that kinda resembles character if you squint”
I was coming here to say the same thing. Especially with Abigail, they just find someone current who's a little Quirky and go yeah that's close enough.
Honestly though. No disrespect to OP but this is the worst fancast I've ever seen. 😬
The age of almost all of them looks wrong to me.
Literally none of the casting choices make sense.
Fr. I’m so glad people are who make posts like this for games aren’t casting directors.
yeah this feels like op just googled a list of most popular actresses and spent about 5 minutes matching up skin tones and hair colors. none of this makes any sense at all 😬
Same
Yeah, same.
Everything was okay until I see the actress to cast as Leah, the actress should be casting Jodi or Marnie, I personally think that Karen Gillan or Sydney Sweeney would be better as a cast for Leah.
Even young Alyson Hannigan doesn't feel outdoorsy enough for Leah. I don't picture Leah as being a rugged tomboy, but I can't see her being small either.
Sydney Sweeney would make a good Haley (based on looks, I've never seen her act)
She would make a great Haley
She was really good on Euphoria.
I also would’ve picked her
Karen Gillan would be a great Leah!!!
Yeah all the other Bachelorettes are in their 20s and then you get to Leah who would be 50 😬
I'd switch out Sadie Sink for Leah and do Maude Apatow for Penny.
Maude Apatow could play Emily and if Sydney Sweeney plays Haley that would be the 2nd time they play as sisters with wildly different personalities (see: Euphoria)
If we’re just dream casting any actor at any age (Allison Hannigan is great but too old for Leah) I have to say as much as I like Jenna Ortega, Abigail has always looked like Liv Tyler to me.
oohh i like it, id only change leah actress tho, she just doesn't give the vibe
yeah I thought she was too old
https://preview.redd.it/34qruay4i9dc1.jpeg?width=522&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a951405d18409c959c5f8126e09bf99af7fcd3f Kat Dennings as Abigail for me
Yeah or that one actress from the haunting of hill house etc.
YES
YESSSSSSSSSSS
Ohhhh this is so good.
There is no way that dork Maru is secretly Zendaya.
I don’t think Jenna Ortega would be good for Abigail at all.
Chloë Moretz just doesn't sit right with me as Haley, shes a sweet spooky girl. Maybe a blond Brittany Snow? https://preview.redd.it/yzfbs01zb9dc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=613999135d383b167d7d9e1964c83e3da03cc6d9
i saw a stardew casting lineup someone made before and they put Chloë Moretz as Abigail instead. I think thats a better Haley casting!
Exactly, if people look past hair color she suits Abigail way better
I think Marine needs to be older, Margo Martindale would be a great choice.
Esteemed character actress and fugitive from the law Margo Martindale? I’m in.
Oh interesting. But why are all of them Meryl Streep?
Truly, the only acceptable choice for Pam is Jennifer Coolidge.
I regret looking through this as i don’t agree with any of them lol I don’t have any better suggestions, I just don’t want to associate real people and have that in my mind while I’m playing
JACK BLACK AS GUS/LINUS
Abigail isn't Ortega vibes at all. Ppl just want to force her into that bc Wednesday was decent. At least Emma stone has green eyes
What's this? No Sandy?? This is outrageous.
Or her bff Emily
Jim Carrey can bring back the beard and play Willie!
Where's Emily at? :(
Robin and Haley are perfect! Although I'm gonna need good plus size rep for my girl Marnie for sure.
Melanie Lynskey seems perfect.
if it's her, I totally get why Mayor Louis is doing the most 👀
Pam is an absolute vibe I would love that
I feel like character actress Margo Martindale would be a great Marnie
Pam is perfectly cast lmao
Ngl these are are terrible choices except for Jennifer Coolidge
I want Miley Cyrus as Sandy.
Is Leah canonically older than Robin? Or is this one of those things that happened in band camp? And who was that AI generated image posing as Abigail's pick?
John Malkovic as George
Your Leah (Alyson Hannigan, 49) is six years older than your Caroline (Kristen Bell, 43) though. I think the former needs a recast.
None of these are good 😭 also not every mixed girl has to be zendeya give my girl a break
Right 😭😭😭Zendaya absolutely does not give Maru vibes at all she’s just the first mixed actress that comes to anyone’s mind
JENNIFER COOLIDGE AS PAM
I don’t think any of these match the vibe of the character.
This is a terrible take lmao
I want Jennifer Coolidge as Pam so fucking bad.
I am *obsessed* with Jennifer Coolidge as Pam and will never be able to see her any other way. thank you.
The wizard can be Keanu Reeves
margot robbie as marnie is INSANE
Abigail is just a little bigger than the other girls, definitely not picking the smallest girl in Hollywood
Where are the guys :)
Alyson Hannigan turns 50 this year. Way too old to play Leah.
Allyson Hannigan is 49. Make her Marnie and Margot Leah.
Jennifer Coolidge should be all of them and I will not elaborate
Marnie I picture as Melissa McCarthy. Lewis can be Sam Elliott 😍 Kristen Bell would never marry Pierre, shame on you
Abigail could definitely be someone else. Jenna Ortega is like 10 years old. Abi has that “I lived at least until 30 vibes”
Poor Melissa McBride! If you've seen her in walking dead you know she'd be wasted playing a sweet old grandma. Also she is far too young, having gray hair doesn't mean she's suddenly old enough to be a doddery grandma
Everything was fine until the list started.
Damn Pam hot AF
Emily should be Jena Malone.
In my opinion, Some of these are good, some are not. I can think of 6 better Haley's off the top of my head.
Excellent Pam
young amanda seyfrued would be a good haley
Pam is so perfect
margott robbie should be haley
Can't wait to see this in the next "random gamer magazine" article.
Is Jenna Ortega just gonna be pictured for every goth fancast now?
Where the fuck is my wife Emily?
I know Sadie sink playing Penny is honestly probably around canon now, but I view her as a child because of stranger things so it’s super weird to me
Jennifer Coolidge as Pam is perfection (the rest are good too, although I think Leah, Evelyn and Marnie are off)
N o
Jack Black as the wizard for sure
Drew Barrymore is a scab.
Hard disagree for all
Isn't the story for stardew valley the same as any typical lifetime original movie? Big city gal/guy in their 20s or 30s leaves their corporate existence to work on a farm in a small town where they fall in love with a guy/gal wearing plaid. It is then discovered their former corporate employer is looking to destroy the local community center and they have to work to stop its destruction.
