Lifetime’s Devious Maids from executive producers Eva Longoria and Marc Cherry will return for season two on April 20, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT. Longoria will also be behind the camera for the season two premiere, helming the episode, which will mark her first gig as a television director.
Ana Ortiz, Dania Ramírez, Roselyn Sánchez, Edy Ganem, and Judy Reyes return to star as maids who work for rich and famous bosses in Beverly Hills. The series is Lifetime’s “fastest-growing scripted series ever” and scored high ratings with women, drawing in 3 million viewers to its season one final, which earned it the title of Lifetime’s best drama telecast in 2013.
The Plot:
Devious Maids is set in a world where murder and mayhem collide in the mansions of Beverly Hills’ wealthiest and most powerful families. Class warfare has never been as fun and dirty as it is in the tiny enclave where the staff is as clever, witty and downright as devilish as their employers. The series centers on a close-knit group of maids, Marisol (Ortiz), Rosie (Ramírez), Carmen (Sánchez), Valentina (Ganem) and Zoila (Reyes), who are bonded together by their jobs, life struggles and the melodramatic universe that engulfs their employers.
Devious Maids also stars Susan Lucci, Grant Show, Rebecca Wisocky, Tom Irwin, Mariana Klaveno, Matt Cedeño, Melinda Page Hamilton and Drew Van Acker. Joining the cast this season are Dominic Adams (Romancing the Joan), Joanna Adler (Orange Is the New Black), and Colin Woodell (Criminal Minds).
Following last season’s revelation of Flora’s murderer, Rosie’s shocking arrest by immigration agents, the demise of Valentina and Zoila’s relationship and Carmen’s fake engagement, season two promises to deliver even more excitement. Beverly Hills is hit by a wave of criminal activity that leaves its residents in a vulnerable situation.
Meanwhile, Marisol engages in a new romance but quickly discovers there is more than meets the eye to her new lover. Zoila’s need to control everything starts to take a toll on her personal life, especially with Valentina, who is now working for a surprising new employer. Rosie’s immigration status is in flux, while Carmen embraces her life in the limelight as the fiancée to a pop star.
