ABC has renewed Tim Allen vehicle, “Last Men Standing,” and picked up two new comedies: “Cristela” and “Fresh Off the Boat.”
“Cristela” stars Cristela Alonzo in the titular role, Carlos Ponce as Felix, Terri Hoyos as Natalia, Andrew Leeds as Josh and Sam McMurray as Trent. The 20th Century Fox TV Production is written by Alonzo and Kevin Hench. Hench, Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements and Shawn Levy will executive produce.
The comedy follows Cristela (Alonzo), who is finally on the brink of landing her first big (unpaid) internship at a prestigious law firm. The only problem is that her pursuit of success is more ambitious than her traditional Mexican-American family thinks is appropriate.
