Jennifer Lopez Developing New ABC Family Series
EXCLUSIVE: Jennifer Lopez is developing an hour-long drama for ABC Family. The so far untitled series is about a lesbian couple who suddenly have their already child heavy household turned upside down when a wayward teenage girl moves in. One of the mothers is a cop, the other is a private school teacher. They have one biological son and adopted teen twins, one a boy, the other a girl. The American idol judge is said to be planning to guest star in the show. Lopez will executive produce the series, which the network is fast tracking, with Simon Fields, her partner at Nuyorican Productions. Peter Paige and Brad Bredeweg, the creators and writers of the show, will also executive produce. Greg Gugliotta, who has worked with ABC Family before on movies like 2003’s Beautiful Girl, is also on board as an executive producer on the show. Executive Mina Lefevre is shepherding the show at ABC Family. Lopez is repped by UTA and managed by Benny Medina.
Cant wait…..fresh princess of brooklyn..
you mean, the BRONX!
That is the same place
Can’t wait!! Love me some JLo, and Brad and Peter are two of the hardest working writers around. Happy to see hard work rewarded!
wow! I don’t think they could possibly have more crap going on in this horrible idea for a show.
I was rolling my eyes reading the headline, thinking it would be about dance or singing, but once I got through the article, I was pleasantly surprised with how different this is for her. It would be interesting to see how big of a part she gives herself. I wouldn’t mind seeing JLo on a TV series. She is very likable to watch week-in-and-out and still can attract an audience. Her movie career isn’t setting the world on fire, but at least it is interesting to see her do something different like this.
Mina is an exceptional exec, kudos to her.
Kudos to Lopez for developing a show like this
Glad to hear it! Finally the networks are producing shows that reflect the REAL makeup of many American family with all their diversity.
Cheers JLo!
about 1% if that and shows like this take up 20%. who cares.
REAL makeup? In GLAAD’s dreams. These types of households reflect far less than one per cent of the entire population of households. It’s not even on the map. More gay agenda B.S.
Nothing against the premise. But come on, that synopsis does not represent the real makeup of America. I don’t think the homosexual community is as large as television portrays.
OMG . i can’t wait to see her again on tv . i love every thing that she does . like the perfect songs , amazing performances , great acting in the movies like “the backup plan” was one of my favorite movies , and herself in American Idol was beautiful. she rocks in everything . i loooooooooove you Jennifer.
I do love me some J-Lo and agree with the poster that she has great appeal and would probably do very well in a scripted show
I hope they hire at least one verifiable lesbian to do something –act, write, direct?? (if it goes forward)
Not that the boys don’t have a good handle on our world..but.. Good luck to all!!
So now her career is all abut guest starring on TV shows? Jlo time to leave UTA.
