UPDATE: In a shocking turn of events, Netflix has officially announced the recasting of the iconic character Nanno in its highly anticipated series Girl From Nowhere: The Reset, set to premiere on March 7, 2025. This decision comes just days after the announcement of Thai actress Rebecca Armstrong taking over the role from fan-favorite actress Kitty Chicha Amatayakul, sparking intense reactions from devoted fans.
Fans are voicing their mixed feelings on social media, with many expressing disbelief at the recasting of a character who has become a cultural icon since the series debuted in 2018. Nanno, the mischievous and supernatural entity known for punishing wrongdoers, has captivated audiences globally in the show’s previous seasons, particularly the second season released in 2021.
The announcement that Becky would replace Kitty as Nanno has ignited a firestorm of discussion online, with some fans questioning whether the new actress can embody the complexity of the character. One user tweeted, “How can you replace a face so iconic? Just cancel the show!” while another lamented, “Absolutely no one can replace Nanno.”
Despite the backlash, there are supporters urging fans to give Rebecca a chance. Many believe that she has shown significant growth in her acting abilities since her debut in TharnType 2: 7 Years of Love in 2021. Supporters argue that the new season, described as a spin-off with a fresh take on the narrative, should be approached with an open mind.
Rebecca herself has expressed her determination to take on the challenge, stating that she welcomes constructive feedback to improve her craft. Fans have mixed feelings, with some expressing hope for her success, as one supporter tweeted, “I hope everyone will give her a chance to show the world her talent.”
Girl From Nowhere: The Reset promises to explore new themes within a different universe, featuring new characters and narratives. As anticipation builds, viewers are left wondering how this new direction will resonate with a devoted fanbase that has grown attached to Kitty’s portrayal of Nanno.
As the premiere date approaches, all eyes will be on Rebecca Armstrong to see if she can win over the hearts of fans and redefine a beloved character.
