"The Netherfield Girls" is sure to have a long cast list, but so far, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan is the only actor to be officially attached. While it's hard to predict who else might make the cut, we have a few ideas about who would be ideal for this film.

Ramakrishnan will play the lead role of Lizzie Bennet. As any Austen fan knows, Lizzie needs her Mr. Darcy. Since it's a Netflix title, "The Netherfield Girls" could tap someone from one of the streaming site's other popular properties. Darren Barnet, who plays Paxton Hall-Yoshida, Ramakrishnan's off-and-on love interest in "Never Have I Ever," could fit the bill. With those soulful eyes and chiseled cheekbones, he's a good fit for the infamously brooding character.

Then again, everyone involved might want to distance this project from its leading lady's best-known production. Another contender for the role, then, could be Austin Abrams, star of Netflix's holiday romance "Dash and Lily." Abrams' Dash is a modern-day Scrooge who despises the Christmas season, but soon warms up to it, thanks to the charms of a mysterious journal's irresistable author. We can easily picture Abrams getting his icy heart melted by Lizzie if he were to take on the Darcy role. Of course, we don't know for certain if either of these actors would even be interested, but we can always dream.
