Looking for an enjoyable escape that the whole family can enjoy? Netflix has you covered with the new fantasty adventure series, The Letter for the KingAmir Wilson leads the show as Tiuri, a young man training to become a knight. Tiuri isn't exactly at the top of the class and the community doesn't have much faith he'll complete his trials either, but Tiuri gets an opportunity to step up big time when the ruthless Prince Viridian (Gijs Blom) rolls in.

Leading up to the show's big debut on Netflix, I got the chance to sit down with some of the ensemble to get to know them a little and hear about their experience making the show. Check out the video at the top of this article to hear Wilson, Blom, Ruby Serkis and Thaddea Graham debate which one of them would win a sword fight, choose between working with real animals and CG creatures, reveal who they'd like to play if they got the opportunity to role-swap with anyone on the show, and so much more!
