The former Desperate Housewives star will executive produce the sitcom inspired by real-life sex and relationships therapist Laura Berman, said Deadline.

As yet untitled, the show will follow the therapist and her patients who are dealing with intimacy, love and unusual fetishes, as well as navigating relationships with her ex husband, his new girlfriend and her own mother, and looking after two young sons. The jokes will arise from the patients who consult with a female sex therapist on a variety of intimate matters

Universal TV will be producing the comedy and it will fall under Eva’s own UnbeliEVAble Entertainment production company.

Eva Longoria as producer

Eva Longoria has taken to creating shows—rather than starring in them —in recent years, but her latest series was criticized and harshly condemned within her own cultural community over what critics are calling a demeaning and stereotypical portrayal of Hispanic women. The series name is “Devious Maids,” whichLongoria developed with “Desperate Housewives” creator Marc Cherry.

Many viewers share that “Devious Maids” was “just offensive,” while others praised the series with tweets such as “loved loved, good new show” and “intrigue and funny at the same time!”

We cant wait to see what her new show will bring!
