Maid in Manhattan Returns on Network Television

Jennifer Lopez is bringing her 2002 big screen rom-com, Maid in Manhattan, back to life as an hour long dramedy series for ABC. The Hollywood Reporter notes that while Chad Hodge, the writer behind the show, says "The show is a different maid in a different Manhattan," the lead will still be a Latina from the Bronx working in a swank Manhattan hotel, just trying to make it in this crazy, mixed-up world. Sounds the same so far! This is the second go-around for turn the movie into a show--the last was in 2004 but didn't get past development stages. This time, it's said that Bronx native J.Lo "has been very involved, providing 'a fountain of ideas.'" [via NYMag]
