TORONTO,
May 27, 2013 /CNW/ - When everyone
has dirty little secrets to hide...knowledge gives power to the
powerless. From executive producers Marc
Cherry (Desperate Housewives) and Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives) comes
Lifetime®'s most anticipated drama of the year,
Devious Maids, making its debut on Sunday, June 23 at 10pm
ET/7pm PT. The all-star
ensemble cast features Ana
Ortiz (Ugly Betty), Dania Ramirez (Entourage),
Roselyn Sanchez (Without a
Trace), Edy Ganem
(Livin' Loud) and Judy
Reyes (Scrubs) as the five lead maids and
Emmy® Award winning TV icon Susan Lucci (All My Children) as one
of Beverly Hills' rich and famous.
In Devious Maids, class warfare has never
been as amusing and as scandalous as it is in the tiny enclave of
Beverly Hills where the staff is as clever, outrageous and
downright devilish as their employers. The series follows five
close-knit maids who are bonded together by their jobs, life
struggles and the dramatic universe that engulfs those that employ
them. Before the season is over, affairs will be revealed and deep
dark secrets exposed as we learn the grimy details behind the
murder of a beloved housemaid at one of the biggest society events
of the year.
In the premiere episode, the maids turn to one
another for support when their friend and fellow maid Flora (Paula
Garcés, CSI Miami) is brutally murdered at the home of her
employers, Evelyn and Adrian Powell
(Rebecca Wisocky, American Horror
Story and Tom Irwin, Grey's
Anatomy). Meanwhile, newcomer Marisol (Ana Ortiz, Ugly Betty) is hired to clean
the home of newlyweds Taylor and Michael Stappord (Brianna Brown, Homeland and Brett Cullen, Damages). But Marisol has
ulterior motives and when someone she loves becomes wrapped up in
Flora's murder, she goes undercover to learn the truth.
Also starring are Mariana Klaveno (True
Blood), Grant Show (Melrose
Place), Matt Cedeño (Days of Our Lives), Drew Van Acker (Pretty Little Liars) and
Melinda Paige Hamilton (Mad
Men).
Devious Maids is produced by ABC Studios.
The series was created by Marc
Cherry (Desperate Housewives) and is executive
produced by Cherry, Sabrina Wind
(Desperate Housewives), Eva
Longoria (Desperate Housewives), Paul McGuigan (Scandal), Larry Shuman (Kissing Miranda),
David Lonner, John Mass and Televisa USA's Paul
Presburger and Michael
Garcia.
