George Lopez is returning to series TV with Lopez, a half-hour comedy he’s starring in and executive producing. Dave Krinsky and John Altschuler are also executive producing the series and are on board as writers. Lopez‘ 12 episode season one will be debuting in 2016.
“We are excited to produce a series around iconic comedian George Lopez that reveals him in a hilarious yet brutally honest way” said Keith Cox, TV Land Executive Vice President of Development and Original Programming. “George is constantly reinventing himself and as TV Land continues its evolution, we can’t wait to tell his story from a fresh, innovative perspective.”
“I’m excited that TV Land realizes that my personal challenges, insecurities and inability to connect are all part of my charm,” added Lopez.
The Plot: “The comedy, revolving around America’s most successful Hispanic American comedian, explores how George struggles between his two worlds and crises – often of his own making. Too rich to go back to his working class, Latino roots, and too ‘brown’ to feel comfortable in his affluent celebrity life, being George Lopez comes with many problems.”
