Eva Longoria’s Production Company Developing Show Based on the Castro Twins for ABC

*I’m torn. It’s great, but really? It’s flattering-ish I guess, because it feels like grandma’s hanging a picture of the Castro twins next to the picture of the Pope in her living room, while the cantina down the street has a black velvet painting of the twins over the bar. Know what I mean? It’s just an initial feeling, we’ll see what it’s like when it airs. VL

The story of San Antonio’s most famous political brethren may be going to the small screen. And another SA resident is putting it there.

ABC recently bought a new show from Corpus Christi native and part-time San Antonian Eva Longoria, according to Deadline. The as-yet-unnamed program will be based loosely (probably very, very loosely) on the political rise of twins Julián and Joaquin Castro.

The executive producer is Nikki Toscano, who’s also been involved in shows such as Revenge andBates Motel. Here’s how Deadline described the show:
