The "Devious Maids" are here to stay. Lifetime has renewed the soap drama from Marc Cherry for a 13-episode third season which will debut in spring next year.
"We are thrilled to be bringing Devious Maids back for another season," Rob Sharenow, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Lifetime, said in the press release. "Marc Cherry has created a uniquely twisted world that blends his comic wit with devilishly ingenious characters and plot twists."
"Devious Maids" centers on a close-knit group of maids, Marisol, Rosie, Carmen, Valentina and Zoila, who are bonded together by their jobs, life struggles and the melodramatic universe that engulfs their employers. It stars Ana Ortiz, Dania Ramirez, Roselyn Sanchez, Edy Ganem, Judy Reyes and Susan Lucci among others.
The second season wrapped up in July, averaging 1.8 million viewers per week in same-day ratings. Although the sophomore run was down slightly from its first season run, the series continues to be the No. 1 basic cable program during its 10-11 P.M. Sunday time period among women.
