According to Variety, Longoria will direct the first two episodes of the adaptation. Announced during Series Mania Festival in Lille, the remake series will be co-produced by Mediawan, Elefantec Global and Longoria’s banner UnbeliEVAble Entertainment.

“Like so many people around the globe, I’ve been a huge fan of the original series since it first premiered,” said Longoria. “I’m so excited to partner with Mediawan and Elefantec Global to bring one of the greatest properties that gives a witty and satirical look behind the curtain of the entertainment industry for the Spanish-speaking American market,” added the actor-turned-director.

Longoria made her feature directorial debut with Flamin’ Hot, which also premiered at SXSW and won the Audience Award. The original Call My Agent! takes us through the world of celebrity agents at a top Paris talent agency. The show first aired for four seasons before being acquired by Netflix, ultimately gaining international recognition.

“Joining forces with Eva Longoria and Pepe Baston to take Call My Agent! to Latin America is a unique opportunity,” said Pierre-Antoine Capton, chairman of Mediawan. “Their talent and know-how combined with their international renown guarantee an innovative and premium adaptation of this series, a real funny and moving gem that the French creators were able to bring to life and which has since been traveling to audiences worldwide,” Capton continued.
