NBC previewed two episodes of its new comedy Telenovela after The Voice on Monday, December 7. The series returns on January 4 at 8:30P after their other new series, Superstore at 8P.
Eva Longoria stars and executive produces Telenovela along with creators/writers Chrissy Pietrosh and Jessica Goldstein; and features a funny ensemble cast, including Jencarlos Canela, Diana Maria Riva, Jose Moreno Brooks, Alex Meneses, Amaury Nolasco, Jadyn Douglas, and Izzy Diaz.
If you think the steamy sex, sensational scandals and wrenching heartbreak on Latino soap operas are a little extreme, just wait until you see what happens behind the scenes.
This is Longoria’s first series regular role since Desperate Housewives.
Listen in on our conversation with the writers, Chrissy Pietrosh and Jessica Goldstein, and a few of the actors, Riva, Meneses, and newcomer Douglas.
Telenovela officially debuts on Monday, January 4 at 8:30P. If you missed the episodes, you can watch them here, including a bonus one.
