"I was told that I could play M’Lynn if Netflix ever produced a remake of Steel Magnolias." Now I want this to happen way more than Pride and Prejudice

Thank you for your support!!! It’ll be hard to top the original but I hear that Dolly Parton is in talks to reprise her role as Truvy (fingers crossed)

Damn that would really be amazing. It's one of my favorite movies and she is one of my favorite people in it

TBH I wasn't that excited about yet another P&P adaptation, but this casting news has changed my mind! (That said, my dream casting is Simone Ashley as Lizzy and Dev Patel as Mr. Darcy.)

I would pay so much money to see a Simone/Dev reboot

I’ve been in a writing hole all day so you broke this news to me! I was holding out for Dev but I also am a Jack fan. I’m also mainlining Good Hang and loved the Ike Barinholt ep too.

The Ike episode was so killer. He is so delightful! And I totally related to everything he said about growing up in Chicago during the 1990s Bulls dynasty. Like, when my team loses now, I'm like, "It's cool. We had Jordan for 15 years."

Omg yes! And then his thing about Richard Moll and Timmy Chalamet sitting court side (and his Liam Gallagher)😂 I’m always so moved when he talks about his dad, too. I just love him!!!

I CANNOT. He's just too cool and normal and down-to-earth to be famous!!

Truly!! And everyone loves working with him. He plays the best lovable bros on TV too. He’s killing me in The Studio.

I watched the Olivia Wilde episode last night. Hilarious!!! Ike steals entire scenes from Rogen, which is saying a lot. (I adore Seth Rogen too.)

Omg that episode! Olivia and Zach killed me too but my favorite Ike moments are in the next episode and a couple later. We must discuss after you watch! Did you watch The Afterparty?

I like this casting! Jack Lowden is a cutie and I’m a fan of his work on “Slow Horses” - Colman makes sense as the meddling matriarch. I’m mixed on Emma Corrin casting. I saw her in period romance drama, “Lady Chatterly’s Lover” and didn’t love it. I was hoping we’d get someone closer to the BBC 90s Jennifer Ehle casting.

Jennifer Ehle is so iconic! There MUST be an actor with that vibe in the talent pipeline

Florence Pugh might have made for an intriguing choice. I can’t picture a non Brit!

Erin Carlson's avatar

YES TO FLO. And only a Brit can tackle Lizzy. Authenticity is key! That said: Gwyneth DID pull off Emma back in the day. (Annoying!)

I almost thought to say Anya Taylor Joy for Pride & Prejudice but she was Emma too!
