Amanda Edwards/WireImage, Greg Doherty/WireImageIt was only a matter of time before this happened: The college admissions scandal is (probably) becoming a TV series. Of course we already have casting thoughts about who should play Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin (should they be included in the series).
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Annapurna Television has optioned the rights to Accepted, a new book in the works by Wall Street Journal reporters Melissa Korn and Jennifer Levitz. No network or streaming platform is attached to the series yet. D.V. DeVincentis is writing the script.
So, who should play the actresses who were charged in Operation Varsity Blues? We're not just basing this on looks, but also acting prowess as well. Read on!
The Xena: Warrior Princess star made it known she wants a part in the series on Twitter. And not just any part…
Lawless tweeted in response to the news, "I WANT TO PLAY BOTH OF THEM!!!!"
We all know Dern could take this project and role to new heights.
Were they separated at birth? Plus, Turco has been killing it in on The 100 for seasons, she would do well in the role.
Could this role finally get Coon the Emmy she deserves?
She knows her way around wigs if needed, but really Russell sort of looks like Loughlin and has the acting ability to really make the role pop.
Looks and acting ability collide here.
You know you thought about it.
As Cersei Lannister, Headey played a woman willing to go to great lengths for her kids. Sound familiar? But this would be a chance for Headey to 1. Not wear armor and 2. Show her range even more.
An Oscar winner to play an Oscar nominee? You know Swank has the chops.
Preston won an Emmy for guest starring on The Good Wife and is tearing it up on screen in TNT's Claws every summer. This type of role is perfect for her.
