It was only a matter of time before this happened: The college admissions scandal is (probably) becoming a TV series<\/a>. Of course we already have casting thoughts about who should play Felicity Huffman<\/a><\/strong> and Lori Loughlin<\/a><\/strong> (should they be included in the series).<\/p>\n

According to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Annapurna Television has optioned the rights to Accepted<\/em>, a new book in the works by Wall Street Journal<\/em> reporters Melissa Korn<\/strong> and Jennifer Levitz<\/strong>. No network or streaming platform is attached to the series yet. D.V. DeVincentis<\/strong> is writing the script.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Were they separated at birth? Plus, Turco has been killing it in on The 100<\/em> for seasons, she would do well in the role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
