So what's the order for how actors will be cast?

It was decided that the characters were to be discussed in the order of their appearance in the series. When their characters are defined, the casting follows.
 
It is being done by Season of the TV series.

So, Season 1 begins with Ainulindalë and ends with the War of the Powers. Casting for this season is complete.

Season 2 begins with the awakening of the Elves and ends with....well, somewhere around the fall of the Noldor. Since this season has not been discussed at all yet, that will be the next task for casting.
 
Thingol, Cirdan, and the ones who are in Valinor.

Vanyar: Ingwë, Indis

Noldor: Finwë, Míriel, Fëanor, Fingolfin, Finarfin, Nerdanel, Anarië, Mahtan, 7 Sons of Fëanor, Fingon, Turgon, Aredhel, Elenwë, Finrod, (Orodreth), Aegnor, Galadriel

Teleri: Olwë, Eärwen

...well, you get the idea.
 
Here's what I have right now; when I had made castings I had mainly focused on the Great Tales.

Thingol: Paul Bettany

Indis: Charlize Theron

Finwe: Jason Isaacs

Miriel: Charlotte Gainsbourg

Feanor: Harry Lloyd

Fingolfin: Tom Hiddleston

Finarfin: Tom Felton

Nerdanel: Rosalind Halstead

Maedhros: Domhnall Gleeson

Maglor: Nicholas Hoult

Celegorm: Jonathan Groff

Caranthir: Matthew Lewis

Curufin: Shia LaBoeuf (because no one likes Shia LaBoeuf)

Fingon: Jack Davenport

Aredhal: Charlotte Riley

Finrod: Nico Evers-Swindell

Orodreth: Andrew Lincoln

Finduilas: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
 
Domhnall Gleeson is Curumo, so he can't be Maedhros.
The plan is: 1. Season outline. 2. Episode planning, in which characters take form. 3. Nomination. 4. Polls. 5. The execs clear or veto the results of the polls.
Nomination won't happen until... Well it will take some months.
