Written by Instinct Staff | Wednesday, 06 February 2013
Looks like we're getting more J.Lo, Instincters! Or at least a Jennifer Lopez-produced television series.
ABC Family has officially picked up to series la diva Latina's lesbian-centered family drama pilot, The Fosters.
Details after the jump.
Deadline reports:
"ABC Family has picked up to series two of its three drama pilots —The Fosters, executive produced by JenniferLopez, and Socio,which has been renamed Twisted. Filming on both, which are produced in-house, will begin in the spring for a summer debut. “These new shows will bring the same depth, heart, close relationships and authenticity that our viewers have come to expect and will pair nicely with our already established pop culture hits,” ABC Family president Michael Riley said.
.....
The Fosters too got a boost, with Joanna Johnson (Make It Or Break It) recruited as executive producer/showrunner last month in anticipation of a pickup. Created/executive produced by Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige (Queer As Folk), The Fosters is about a multi-ethnic family mix of foster and biological kids being raised by two moms. It stars Teri Polo, Sherri Saum, Jake T. Austin, Hayden Byerly, David Lambert, newcomer Maia Mitchell, Danny Nucci and Cierra Ramirez. Simon Fields, Benny Medina and Greg Gugliotta will also serve as executive producers."
Can we also note that we're thrilled to see Queer As Folk's Peter Paige getting some love?
Will you be tuning in for The Fosters, Instincters??
