"Desperate" Latin spinoff announced


Hispanic viewers soon will have a sort of "telenovela" based on the drama of ABC series Desperate Housewives.

WebWire reported May 16 that Univision and Disney-ABC International Television Latin America signed a production agreement, their first joint venture together, aimed toward presenting programming of specific interest to Hispanics. The agreement includes a special production of "Amas de Casa Desesperadas" for Latino viewers in the United States.

The "world-renowned" cast of "Amas" will be announced separately, and the format and scripts will follow the U.S. version while being adapted to Hispanic audience preferences. The series will air next season in prime time.
