ABC Developing Maid In Manhattan Series

ABC is developing a TV series based on the hit Jennifer Lopez romantic comedy Maid in Manhattan. 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 falls for her after mistaking her for a wealthy socialite. 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.
