I'll throw my vote in again for a kinda on the nose showdown between Dean Cain and James van der Beek because I think that would be amazing.

Supposedly all but a couple slots are already filled, and it's a "warm" cast with "lots of great dance ability".

spanana August 13, 2017 Share August 13, 2017 Definitely not Gina Rodriguez. She's making actual movies and too many conflicts with her Jane The Virgin shooting schedule. No way. She doesn't need this show. It could be Dove. She's basically done with Disney (unless they make further Descendants movies) but still has those ABC connections. Plus Descendents was recent and fairly big amongst the kiddies. She's one that is looking to catapult herself from Disney into the next steps of her career and I don't think she has any major projects announced that would conflict at the moment. If there is any chance it's Dove, she might be good and able to hold her own, but I don't think she has any formal training. So she's not as ringer-y as some past Disney/young people on the show. She would have performance chops but her technical would be a big question mark.
