Telenovela
Created by Jessica Goldstein, Robert Harling, Chrissy Pietrosh
On NBC
A bright, energetic workplace comedy that mines humor from the absurdity of telenovela production and the competitive chaos of its cast and crew.
If you think the steamy sex, sensational scandals and heart wrenching heartbreak on Latino soap operas are a little extreme, just wait until you see what happens behind the scenes! Eva Longoria stars in this new comedy about Ana Sofia, a sizzling TV superstar, and her lively family of cast and crew all competing to steal the spotlight. When the cameras turn off, the drama turns up as Ana battles pesky network execs, drunken scriptwriters, narcissistic co-stars and an unfortunately familiar new on-screen love interest.
