Eva Longoria to Star in NBC Comedy “Telenovela”

Eva Longoria Stars in "Telenovela"

Did anyone hear the big news that my girl, Eva Longoria, is headed back to television to star in a new comedy called “Telenovela”? She’s a great friend and a brilliant actor, not to mention an all-around awesome person – and I am thrilled to see her back on T.V. – especially in a funny and light-hearted role.

“Eva Longoria stars in this big, fun and flashy half-hour comedy as Ana Sofia, the star of a popular Spanish language soap opera.  One problem, she doesn’t speak any Spanish. Other problems? Ana must manage a new boss, jealous castmates and high-maintenance best friends — and that’s all before her ex-husband is hired as her new on-screen love interest. Just like a real telenovela, this comedy is full of all kinds of drama, including love, hate, life and even death! Despite all the chaos, this telenovela’s cast and crew is a family … or, at least, they try to be.”  (via cinemovie.tv)

Doesn’t it sound great and funny? Here’s a quick look:

While the show doesn’t officially air until January 4th, a special preview will air December 7 from 10-11pm on NBC (immediately following “The Voice”).

Everyone is excited to have Eva back on television, including NBC execs. According to Jennifer Salke, president of NBC Entertainment, “We are over the moon to have the incomparable ‘desperate housewife’ Eva Longoria producing and starring in ‘Telenovela,’ which we love. Her tour-de-force performance as Ana Sofia, the demanding but vulnerable star of a larger-than-life telenovela, is hilarious.”

If you’re ready for some new, funny and lighthearted weeknight television, add December 7th to your calendar and don’t forget to tune in to the special preview of Telenovela!
