‘Telenovela’ First Look: Watch Hilarious Teaser to NBC’s Newest Comedy Starring Eva Langoria

Eva Longoria is starring in “Telenovela,” a comedy series about what happens behind the scenes of a Spanish drama TV show.

The show’s synopsis, as released by NBC: Eva Longoria (“Desperate Housewives”) stars in this big, fun and flashy half-hour comedy as Ana Sofia, the star of a popular Spanish language soap opera. One problem, she doesn’t speak any Spanish. Other problems? Ana must manage a new boss, jealous cast mates and high-maintenance best friends – and that’s all before her ex-husband is hired as her new on-screen love interest. Just like a real telenovela, this comedy is full of all kinds of drama, including love, hate, life and even death! Despite all the chaos, this telenovela’s cast and crew is a family … or, at least, they try to be. The cast includes Jencarlos Canela, Diana Maria Riva, Jose Moreno Brooks, Alex Meneses, Amaury Nolasco, Jadyn Douglas, and Izzy Diaz.

The show is set to premiere on the network Monday, Dec. 7, 10 p.m. and will run for 11 episodes. The series is also produced by Langoria.  Watch a scene from the comedy below.
