ABC orders two new comedies and renews ‘Last Man Standing’

After long and intense negotiations ABC and 20th Century Fox TV have finally came to an agreement. An agreement has been reached about ‘Cristela’ and ‘Fresh off the Boat’.

‘Cristela’ is in her sixth year of law school; ‘Cristela’ 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. She’s stuck straddling the old culture she’s trying to modernize at home with her working-class family and the modern world she’s trying to embrace in her professional career. Breakout comedian ‘Cristela’ Alonzo stars in this hilarious comedy about laughing your way down the path to the new American dream. ‘Cristela’ stars; ‘Cristela’ Alonzo as ‘Cristela’, Carlos Ponce as Felix, Terri Hoyos as Natalia, Andrew Leeds as Josh and Sam McMurray as Trent. ‘Cristela’ is written by ‘Cristela’ Alonzo and Kevin Hench. Executive Producers are Kevin Hench, Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements and Shawn Levy.

‘Fresh Off the Boat’ is situated in the 90s and 12 year old, hip-hop loving Eddie just moved to suburban Orlando from DC’s Chinatown with his parents. It’s culture shock for his immigrant family in this comedy about pursuing the American Dream. ‘Fresh Off the Boat’ is based on Chef Eddie Huang’s memoir ‘Fresh Off the Boat’. ‘Fresh Off the Boat’ stars Randall Park as Louis, Constance Wu as Jessica, Hudson Yang as Eddie, Forrest Wheeler as Emery and Ian Chen as Evan. ‘Fresh Off the Boat’ is executive produced and written by Nahnatchka Kahn and executive produced by Jake Kasdan for 20th Century Fox Television.

ABC has also announced that Tim Allen’s sitcom ‘Last Man Standing’ will be renewed for a fourth season.

‘Mixology’, ‘Neighbors’, ‘Suburgatory’, ‘Super Fun Night’ and ‘Trophy Wife’ did not make it and have now officially been cancelled.
