April 2, 2024 – “What you can expect is watching what happens when a sober George tries to maintain his sobriety, what that does to the family dynamic, what that means to his daughter’s relationship with him, how that trickles down to all of us,” said Selenis Leyva, who plays George’s ex-wife, Rosie.
Stand-up comedian and actor George Lopez stars in “Lopez vs. Lopez” with his real-life daughter, Mayan. They play fictionalized characters of themselves, with a cast that includes Leyva, Matt Shively (Mayan’s live-in boyfriend) and Al Madrigal (George’s employee Oscar).
Season one also featured Cheech Marin as a recurring character, and guest appearances by Rita Moreno, Harvey Guillén, Danny Trejo, Tommy Chong and Snoop Dogg, among other stars.
Leyva said that it’s important to put the prime-time spotlight on a Latino family to show mainstream viewers how they have many things in common and also to represent the diversity of America.
