Kristin Chenoweth? Nope.

Kristen Bell? Nope.

Julianne Hough? Nope.

NBC has just announced that Allison Williams will play the role of Peter Pan in NBC's Peter Pan Live, airing Dec. 4.

The Girls star will "bring the perfect blend of 'boyish' vulnerability and bravado to save the day against Christopher Walken's powerful Captain Hook," said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment, calling her "a lovely rising star."

"Allison Williams is a major find," said executive producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. "She will reinvent the iconic role of Peter Pan with her wit, her warmth, her dynamic flying and her wonderful musical abilities. The score will be sung beautifully and introduced to a whole new generation of families."

"I have wanted to play Peter Pan since I was about three years old, so this is a dream come true," said Williams.
