Top U.S. Spanish-language network Univision cut a deal with Disney-ABC International Television Latin America that involves the production of ABC’s hot Desperate Housewives series for Hispanic viewers in the United States.
The series will be called Amas de Casa Desesperadas and will air next season in primetime on Univision, the network said Monday.
POL-KA Producciones in Buenos Aires will produce Amas de Casa Desesperadas for Univision. Its format and scripts will follow the original U.S. version, “adapted to the preferences of U.S. Hispanics,” Univision said.
Desperate Housewives is distributed to more than 200 countries throughout the world and has three original productions for the Latin American market. Disney-ABC International Television Latin America and the Univision Network will produce this version.
