JLo brings 'Maid In Manhattan' to small screen

Washington, Aug 14 : Jennifer Lopez is turning her 2002 hit romantic comedy, Maid in Manhattan, into a TV series.

The 39-year-old has joined forces with U.S. TV network ABC to produce a new series based on the film.

Lopez will not star in the programme, but will serve as an executive producer - overseeing the production and the script.

The show will mirror the plot of the big screen version, with a struggling maid working at a luxurious New York hotel, but it will feature an entirely different character.

Writer Chad Hodge tells the Hollywood Reporter, "The show is a different maid in a different Manhattan."

"She (Lopez) will be very integral in the pilot and series," Contactmusic quoted Hodge, as saying.
