Devious Maids Premieres on Lifetime on June 23, 2013

Lifetime will premiere its highly-anticipated new drama "Devious Maids," executive produced by Marc Cherry ("Desperate Housewives") and Eva Longoria ("Desperate Housewives"), on Sunday, June 23, at 10PM ET/PT. The ensemble all-star cast, Ana Ortiz ("Ugly Betty"), Dania Ramirez ("Entourage"), Roselyn Sánchez ("Without a Trace"), Edy Ganem ("Livin’ Loud") and Judy Reyes ("Scrubs"), portray five maids with ambition and dreams of their own while working for the rich and famous in Beverly Hills.

In "Devious Maids," murder and mayhem collide in the mansions of Beverly Hills’ wealthiest and most powerful families. Class warfare has never been as fun and dirty as it is in the tony enclave where the staff is as clever, witty, outrageous and downright devilish as their employers. Whoever holds the dirt holds the power, and before the season is over, illicit affairs will be revealed and deep dark secrets exposed as we learn the sordid details behind a shocking murder of a beloved housemaid.

The series centers on a close-knit group of maids who are bonded together by their jobs, life struggles and the melodramatic "upstairs-downstairs" universe that engulfs their employers. Rosie (Ramirez), a widow who left her son back in Mexico when her husband died, works as the maid and nanny for a pair of self-absorbed and successful actors, Peri and Spence Westmore (Mariana Klaveno, "True Blood," and Grant Show, "Swing Town"). Aspiring singer Carmen (Sánchez), hopes that her pop star employer Alejandro (Matt Cedeño, "Days of Our Lives") can help jump-start her career, but Odessa (Melinda Paige Hamilton, "Mad Men"), his very loyal housekeeper and her boss, will stop at nothing to stand in her way. Zoila (Reyes) is the senior maid for Genevieve Delatour (Susan Lucci, "All My Children"), a codependent, emotionally unstable wealthy woman. She works alongside her teen daughter Valentina (Ganem), who has a crush on Genevieve's handsome son, Remi (Drew Van Acker, " Pretty Little Liars").

In the series premiere, the women turn to one another for support when their friend and fellow maid Flora (Paula Garces, "CSI Miami") is brutally murdered at the home of her employers, Evelyn and Adrian Powell (Rebecca Wisocky, "American Horror Story," and Tom Irwin, "Grey’s Anatomy"), at one of the largest society events of the year. Meanwhile, newcomer Marisol (Ortiz) is hired to clean the home of Taylor and Michael Stappord (Brianna Brown, "Homeland," and Brett Cullen, "Damages"), a newlywed couple with a complicated love history. But Marisol has ulterior motives and when someone she loves becomes wrapped up in Flora’s murder, she goes undercover to learn the truth.

Inspired by the hit telenovela, "Ellas son...la Alegría del Hogar," "Devious Maids" is produced by ABC Studios. The series was created by Marc Cherry ("Desperate Housewives") and is executive produced by Cherry, Sabrina Wind ("Desperate Housewives"), Eva Longoria ("Desperate Housewives"), Paul McGuigan ("Scandal"), Larry Shuman ("Kissing Miranda"), David Lonner, John Mass and Televisa USA’s Paul Presburger and Michael Garcia.

Am i right assuming this is kind of like desperate housewives but with maids?

codebreaker

I was thinking the same thing

bala

Well consider it's from  executive producer Eva Longoria who was in that show.

codebreaker

How callous complaining about who's going the clean up the blood after the maids murder but Marisol offering to clean the crime scene was interesting and Carmen trying to get friendly with Alejandro was amusing but the baby supposable saying momma was priceless along with the house keeper falling down the stairs

bala

Well i have to say it does feel like desperate housewives to me just with different characters. So she not a maid but her son was the one who got sent to jail for stabbing that maid . I did find it interesting how quickly she became friendly with the other maids but asking about murdered maid was a red flag.

Do they have cast these maid as horny women surely one of them actually can be good maid without all the antics. The mother giving her daughter a maid uniform but loved the way she customise it for her assets.

What a way to teach your daughter a lesson about being a maid

codebreaker

Carmen taking advantage of Odessa and Alejando being out of the house was amusing and Rosie walking in on Peri with her lover was priceless, Zoila spoiling Valentina's plans to get closer to Remi was understandable

bala

Carmen really annoys me she is so self involved that she expect everyone around her to do whatever she wants. .

Trust them to knock over the apples while trying to hide in the supermarket but with a comment like that she should of stuffed an apple in her mouth just like a pig and the cucumber reference to Spencer's manhood was amusing, Adrian setting up his friends with hookers is bizarre but it wouldn't surprise me if he has it recorded for future manipulation

bala

Well how awkward that Maid got a reaction out of him because his wife doesn't show him any affection is quite sad really but fake boyfriend was interesting and what he said i never meant to tell you how i feel could be open to interpretation

Alejandro allowing Carmen to be a guest at a party was amusing and Marisol finding the pregnancy test and who the coroner is was interesting as the autopsy had been altered, how she got him out of his trousers was clever but you knew he would try in on and setting the curtains on fire was priceless

bala

Well now things are getting more intresting so much is happening i can't wait to see what happens next.

Seriously i saw Spencer' kissing the maid coming a mile away his wife is selfish women so i feel bad for him so i am happy he cheating on her because she was one who cheated on him first and i don't know how this will turn out because it does seem like Spencer needs her for her money and house since he has no job.

Spencer asking his wife for open marriage made her happy until her boyfriend told her the reason why and she become jealous but asking the maid was extremely amusing.  Valentina finding a women in Remi bed and than ask her to look after her was crazy but glad she finally told him how she feels about him.
