That's so far the cast we know and from the way this new series preview, I am actually sold if they follow this path like how Saint Seiya Omega has both the previous saints and new saints together. Of course in Sailormoon, the bonds will be stronger since they are all families.
If they even show Haruka and Michru getting married, I am going to have my eyes wide open since they are the first Yuri couple in anime. What about Meioh Setsuna aka Sailor Pluto since Pluto isn't really a planet now? But I am sure Toei will come up with some ridiculous idea to cover this plot hole.
Usagi has matured a lot which is obviously as marriage has earned her two daughters which ironically their names has got something to do with the character "Moon" in Hiragana. Mikage is Sailor Chibi Moon Teen version and from what I see from her profile, being a Senshi has matured her too fast and felt that school life is redundant now. Kiyomi is Usagi the 2nd with her ditsy attitude so expect her to behave like an idiot most of the time. Her Senshi form is almost same as her mother but a bit plain on her boots.
I thought Ami wanted to become a doctor like her mother but instead started a teaching centre with her husband. Anyway, she looked all right and Aina is again Ami the 2nd but I could see that Ami will probably nag her a lot during study time.
Rei actually looked beautiful for a 34 year old. Rin looked like a small brat and if her profile is correct, she probably has a temper like her mother. I also thought Makoto mention she wanted to own a florist store but instead owned a cafe called Jupiter (Typical) Kanari looked like a tomboy during her mother's younger days.
Minako is the last to get married but her marriage is not a happy one. If I remember correctly, Minako's star Venus is the goddess of Love which she is destined to bless love to everyone but herself will not attain happiness. Venus is the youngest of the new Senshi (Toei need to have a loli character for those lolicon demographic, Haha!) and perhaps the only one who has yet to experience family love.
It is also rumored that Takeuchi Naoko' husband and Manga Artist Togashi Yoshihiro (Creator of Yuyu Hakusho and Hunter X Hunter) will also contribute some ideas and concepts for the new series. If it is true, expect some over the top characters to be in the series.
You know about those doujins that talked about the former sailor senshi as mature ladies...I wonder if those artists has foresee this show coming? If it is true, then let the imagination continue! Anyway, if confirmed, we will be getting the show during Winter 2013. (December-February period)
Update: Some people claimed that it is fake which I did said before, I am taking it as a pinch of salt so we will wait for an official announcement once Toei announce the series which I hope it will be out soon.
Update 2: It is confirmed it is fake.

Sorry to make those hopes down...but it sounds like something Toei will have gone this route....
I figured it was fake since it sounded like a more serious take on the side story about Kousagi & her friends, but I still like it.
