Telenovela

2015–2016 · 1 season

A frothy, fast-paced backstage comedy full of bickering egos and silly showbiz chaos that's easy to dip into.

Overview: If you think the steamy sex, sensational scandals and heart wrenching heartbreak on Latino soap operas are a little extreme, just wait until you see what happens behind the scenes! Eva Longoria stars in this new comedy about Ana Sofia, a sizzling TV superstar, and her lively family of cast and crew all competing to steal the spotlight. When the cameras turn off, the drama turns up as Ana battles pesky network execs, drunken scriptwriters, narcissistic co-stars and an unfortunately familiar new on-screen love interest.
How it feels: Light, absurd, satirical and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Celebrity, media, identity, family
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
