History Of Them - Ana Villafañe to Star in Comedy Eyeing Series Order at CBS - BEST FOR YOU

EXCLUSIVE: On Your Feet! star Ana Villafañe has been cast as the female lead in History Of Them, CBS’ high-profile multi-camera/hybrid comedy project from One Day At A Time co-creator/executive producer Gloria Calderon Kellett. Additionally, top multi-camera director Pam Fryman, who helmed several episodes of the One Day at a Time reboot, including the key opening one, has come on board as director/executive producer.

History Of Them, from Sony Pictures TV Studios and CBS TV Studios, landed at CBS in August in a very competitive situation with a big pilot production commitment. While it has not been formally picked up to pilot yet, attaching Villafañe and Fryman, combined with the size of the commitment, certainly bodes well, and a green light is expected.

Written by Kellett, the semi-autobiographical History Of Them is a multi-cultural (Latinx & white) romantic comedy about how two friends, Luna (Villafañe) and Adam, fell in love, narrated by their future daughter, using the couple’s social media from present-day (Instagram/Twitter/Facebook) as a guide.

Villafañe’s smart and spunky Luna runs a successful Latinx food truck business with her parents. Despite this, she struggles with what she wants and doesn’t feel like a fully-fledged grown up yet. She wants to find love and figure out who she is separate from her very tight-knit family, and her journey will be full of bumps and bruises as she navigates the rest of her twenties.
