Its Spanish version, intended for Latin America, will be produced by Eva Longoria, an American actress of Mexican origin, known for her role in the series Desperate Housewives. She will also direct the first two episodes. "Like so many people around the world, I've been a huge fan of the original series from the beginning," she said.
