Netflix picks up the Latino One Day At A Time remake
About a year ago, we reported that Sony was in talks with legendary TV producer Norman Lear about developing a new version of one of Lear’s classic sitcoms, One Day At A Time. The twist would be that it would feature an all-Latino cast this time around, instead of a bunch of white people (which is pretty clichéd at this point). Now, Deadline is reporting that Netflix has picked up the One Day At A Time remake with a 13-episode straight-to-series order. As was the plan, this version will center on a Cuban-American family, led by a “recently separated former military mom who is navigating a new single life while raising her radical teenaged daughter and socially adept tween son.” The woman’s “old school Cuban-born mom” will also be there, and Deadline says she’ll be played by Rita Moreno.
