ABC and Lopez Team on "Maid" TV Series(NSI News Source Info) August 13, 2008: LOS ANGELES - ABC is developing a TV series based on the hit Jennifer Lopez romantic comedy "Maid in Manhattan."
Jennifer Lopez - Marc Anthony takes J-Lo to celebrate her 39th birthday to "In The Heights" at the Richard Rogers Theatre in NYC on July 24, 2008.
Lopez will serve as an executive producer of the hour-long comedy-drama, which has received a pilot commitment. In the 2002 feature, she played a struggling single mother from the Bronx who works as a maid at a swanky Manhattan hotel. A rising politician guest (Ralph Fiennes) falls for her after mistaking her for a wealthy socialite.
"The show is a different maid in a different Manhattan," said Chad Hodge, who will write the script for the pilot.
The lead in the TV version will still be a young Latina from the Bronx working at a Manhattan hotel who tries to make it in the world. But the series will focus mostly on her relationships with co-workers.
