Jennifer Lopez Developing Drama Project for ABC Family




ABC Family is looking to get into business with Jennifer Lopez.





Under Nuyorican Productions, the American Idol judge is developing an untitled hourlong drama project for the younger-female-skewing cable network centered on a lesbian couple, who already has several children, bringing a teenager into their home, The Hollywood Reporter confirms.
Lopez will serve as an executive producer on the project along with Simon Fields, Greg Gugliotta (Beautiful Girl), as well as co-creators/writers Peter Paige and Brad Bredeweg (Fly Girls).
Lopez has executive produced her share of television, with the likes of Univision's Q'Viva: The Chosen and MTV's Dancelife on her resume. She will also serve as an EP on the eight-episode aspirational series Amigas Inc., launching this fall on cable net Tres.
If the project is greenlighted to series, it would join ABC Family dramas targeted at millennials including Pretty Little Liars, Amy Sherman-Palladino's Bunheads, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Jane by Design and Switched at Birth.

Jennifer Lopez Developing New ABC Family Series

By DOMINIC PATTEN | Friday July 6, 2012 @ 12:33pm

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.

Yea!

now we re talking right!!guest star in it jen (if its a hit of course )

me too...but it will never happen she prefers reality tv

ABC might be the beginning of a new era

Cool, we shall see what happens.

They always say Jen will guest star to attract attention, IMO.

Rather have her do that in a movie, TV dramas arent all that imo. Guest starring would be fine, but joining a TV show nah

interesting, i love jen in dramas but idk about a tv show..either way she is every where and doesn't stop, she truly is the Queen !!

She is getting a lot of buzz on this....

Yea they do

Interesting, and not on FOX, I wonder if that means something.

TV Shows on Showtime, HBO & AMC are better than most movies imo. I would like to see her be on one, but I doubt it'll happen. Maybe when she's 60. lol

I'm not looking forward to this tbh. It's ABC Family. lol

I still hope Fox will pick up that Silvio Horta project ("The Family Arias").

That's the only TV project that sounds interesting to me.

And maybe that MTV comedy.

Not so much interesting for me as long as Jennifer doesn't participate. And I doubt that it will be shown outside USA.

yeah i know this is too much to be full time..i d love for jen to do an arc in "the good wife" or something playing a lawyer or something with a great storyline and dramatic performance...i wont even begin to talk about svu arc.this will NEVER happen apparently...can you imagine jen acting as a rape victim?awwww epic

I'd love an arc on a drama, too.





You would be surprised. A lot of their shows are very buzzy ("Pretty Little Liars" and to some extent "Secret Life...", and their latest launch, "Bunheads", was pretty well reviewed.

I don't watch anything on the network, but don't let the name fool you. They only have "Family" in it because they are contractually required to.

Jen should do a guest star in ABC's Once Upo A Time, right Heather?

Yesss, someone evil like the Evil Queen / Regina!

I would die for something like that

Money are good!!

^ i was reading everyones comment from the top of the page and hyperventilating at the thought of jen doing a dramatic role or an arc on a tv show then i read your comment and it made me fall off my chair

The whole comment was so random and and out of place from what everyone else was saying and the grammar. sorry for OT but that was hilerious.

Yay on the gay drama! Boo that it's on ABC Family...whatever gets her buzz...

She needs to buy the righs to a good book , develop and executive produce and star in a film

lol...did I lie?
