Eva Longoria to Produce Show Based on Life of Twin Politicos, Julian & Joaquin Castro

*The new TV program is loosely inspired by Julian and Joaquin Castro. The key word is loosely. How does that work? Any slight insinuation about the Castro twins is gong to be taken as a full-on depiction of the Castro’s. And that has nothing to do with the creators, and much to do with the twins’ enormous visibility. VL

Eva Longoria knows melodrama: she dazzled and schemed on screen as Gabrielle Solis on ABC’s Desperate Housewives. The Golden Globe-nominated actress also knows Texas, and with her upcoming project, Pair of Aces, she’s looking to teach us not to mess with her home state.

Pair of Aces, created and written by Meredith Lavender and Marcie Ulin (both of Nashville and Missing), is loosely inspired by real life dynamos, Julián and Joaquín Castro. The Castro brothers (twins, actually) have established themselves as rising stars of the Democratic Party, and both hold office in the federal government: Julián, who served as San Antonio’s mayor from 2009-2014, is now the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and Joaquín represents Texas as a Congressman.
