Well, let's muse about that for a second...:
 
Teri Hatcher is still around, is available, and might actually be game
for it. But she was very unpopular on the set of the original series
(the others considered her a "mean girl"). Because this is from
different people than the original series, Hatcher might still get the
"ask".
 
Eva Longoria may very well consider herself "too big" for this show now.
 
Felicity Huffman would probably be up for it, but she's still got the
whole "university bribery scandal/jail time" to live down, so she might
not even get asked.

Huffman has already appeared in a post-conviction major role on the CRIMINAL
MINDS reboot-- she plays the ex-lover of original team leader Jason Gideon
(Mandy Patinkin), so Hollywood clearly hasn't abandoned her due to her
'problems'.
