Eva Longoria may actually be relieved that ABC is closing up Desperate Housewives in a few short months. All that network set-work must be getting in the way of her writing, producing, and non-profit work. Especially now that she’s sold a new legal drama, Vega v. Vega, to the CW.
The Hollywood Reporter tells us that the hour-long drama Longoria and Warner Bros. Television are developing for the mini-net “centers on a brilliant young successful lawyer who suddenly finds herself forced to go into practice with her mother, a pioneering female attorney, with whom she has a love/hate relationship.” And no, there’s no indication that Longoria will be either one of the female attorneys in question–she’s strictly producing this, along with a couple of executive producers fresh from Housewives (a good indication that the people who are working with her now want to keep working with her in the future.)
It’s still just in development, so casting, pilots, and premiere dates are all a long way off. But it seems a sure bet that Eva Longoria is going to stay a very busy woman, long after the lights have gone out on Wisteria Lane racks.
