Lifetime offers 'Devious Maids' pilot preview in English, Spanish Lifetime is going bilingual? In a way. The network announced Tuesday its plans to preview the pilot of its new Marc Cherry drama "Devious Maids" in English and Spanish ahead of its June 23 bow. It's an enterprise that seems to embrace its origins while trying to broaden Lifetime's reach with Latino viewers. The series, which credits Eva Longoria as one of its executive producers, is an American adaptation of a hit Mexican series from Televisa, "Ellas son la Alegria del Hogar" (They Are the Joy of Home). The American translation, like the original, centers on five Latina maids (Ana Ortiz, Roselyn Sanchez, Judy Reyes, Dania Ramirez and Edy Ganem) who work for for well-heeled elite in Beverly Hills - finding themselves becoming strongly bonded when a housemaid is murdered. A concept that has stirred some protest within the Latino community over whether the show perpetuates stereotypes. The pilot episode will be made available early on digital platforms beginning Sunday in both English and with Spanish dubbing on myLifetime.com and the Lifetime video watch app, as well as A+E Networks" distribution partners" VOD services, sites and apps. Following the premiere, the network will make each subsequent episode available in both languages the day after its Sunday night airing. "We are thrilled to work with our distribution partners on making 'Devious Maids' available in both English and Spanish to maximize the show's crossover appeal among the broadest range of their customers," said Rob Sharenow, Lifetime's executive vice president and general manager, in a statement.
