Jennifer Lopez adds another project to her busy schedule. She’s working with ABC executives to create a TV series based on her film Maid in Manhattan. According to Reuters, Jennifer will “serve as an executive producer of the hour-long comedy-drama, which has received a pilot commitment.”
Jennifer is drawing on her roots in a working class family in the Bronx to come up with ideas for the series. Reportedly a young Latina (yet to be named) will star in the series. They will also follow the plotline of the movie to some extent, in that the series will center around a maid working in New York. They are working on some different story lines to accomply this central theme.
Reuters points out that the show might be a nice addition to the network, who already has Ugly Betty. Ugly Betty, as we know, has fellow new mom and Latina beauty Salma Hayek as its exec producer.
I love this direction of new TV shows, don’t you? Can’t wait to see it on the air.
Here’s a clip from the movie. Wouldn’t it be great if Jennifer made an appearance in the TV show?
“Maid in Manhattan” TV series? Wow. I never thought that would happen. I’m definitely tuning in to see the pilot episode.
Lauren: Me, too! My husband thought this was a dumb idea, but I really like the idea.
Kind of a “Hotel” type series where they could have lots of great guest stars.
it could turn out great if they do it right, the movie was cute.
mila: I think so too. They tried to do this once before a couple years ago but it never came to be. I’m hoping this time it gets made.
