WE tv said the “frenemies” on screen will compete for roles and dates, walk the same red carpets and fight for the spotlight – à la “The Real Housewives.”
“The world of telenovelas has everything we look for in a WE tv show – compelling characters, conflict, consequence and comic relief,” said WE tv president Marc Juris in a press release. “We could not be more excited about this project and bringing these beautiful women and their stories and highly charged relationships to WE tv viewers. I think we’ll find the lines on the scripts in these TV dramas sometimes pale in comparison to real life.”
