EXCLUSIVE: ABC Family has put in development Maid In Miami, a half-hour comedy project from Rita Rocks creators Stan Zimmerman and James Berg and Glee‘s executive music producer Adam Anders. Singer-actress Christina Millian is in negotiations to star in the project, about a young maid who is an aspiring singer. Zimmerman and Berg are writing the script and will executive produce with Anders, often dubbed Glee‘s music man. Millian has an existing relationship with ABC Family — she has starred in two holiday original movies for the channel, Snowglobe and last year’s Christmas Cupid. ABC Family has a successful track record segueing the stars of ABC Family movies to series — it recently did it with Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence, who took on their own comedy series, Melissa & Joey, after topping the 2009 ABC Family film My Fake Fiance. Berg and Zimmerman, whose credits also include Gilmore Girls and Roseanne, are with WME and 3 Arts. Millian, repped by WME and Greenlight, recently guest starred on CSI.

Ah, yes, rich white guys writing about a minority female in the service industry. Of course, the guys are writing what they know.
I’m guessing you didn’t like the THE HELP.
If this is ten times better than Rita Rocks then it will still be really bad.
ABC Family develops good one hours and terrible half hours.
RIght on, Lisa.
This show seems like a rip-off of “Maid in Manhattan” and “Smash” with a hint of “State of Georgia.” Not to mention a boring rip-off at that. As for the comments on the color of the writers’ skin, that’s pretty silly and racist. I mean, people write plenty of things that have nothing to do with their lives or experiences and it somehow works. Would you say the same thing if it was a Latin or African American writing/producing team helming a reboot to 90210 or Clueless, with an all-white cast? If the writers are good enough, they don’t need to be the race or gender of the characters they are writing for, so please stop the hate, it’s not necessary.
