Unless you’ve been living under a space rock for the past eight weeks, you’ll probably know about Baby Yoda from The Mandalorian. The lean, green, money-making machine has captured hearts and imaginations in a galaxy far, far away – and his mainstream popularity has even spread to those asking about The Witcher Netflix series.

So, does the fantasy adventure have its own version of Baby Yoda? Yennefer and Ciri actors Anya Chalotra and Freya Allan have revealed who they think might take up the meme mantle from their own show.

“I feel like Joey [Batey] as Jaskier,” Allan says when asked at a recent roundtable about whether anything from The Witcher will go viral like Baby Yoda or the Direwolves from Game of Thrones. Chalotra also backs the foppish bard to be a fan favourite: “It will be Joey, I think.”

  • Grogu saluting in The Mandalorian and Grogu New Mandalorian and Grogu TV spot doesn't give much away about the movie, but it does show Baby Yoda sneezing everywhere
  • The Witcher season 4 ending The Witcher season 5 release date speculation, story, and everything we know about the final season so far

Allan has another character in mind one that, like Baby Yoda, doesn’t say anything yet is utterly adorable all the same: “Roach! Roach, of course. It’ll be Roach. Roach is like the Direwolves, I guess.” “His silence says everything,” Chalotra adds.

The Ciri actor also teased her castmate about her own connection to Baby Yoda, telling the gathered journalists: “Google 'Anya and Baby Yoda,' please,” which Chalotra calls “hugely embarrassing.” Why? No shaming here, but it appears someone has got their long-running franchises mixed up.

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
