Telemundo's new romcom Meet the Family premieres this Monday 4 July at 21h00, stepping into
Nurses' timeslot.
It's set in Beverly Hills in the US-of-A and centres round a famous scriptwriter, who should be filled with the joys of life because you'd think it would be brilliant to be a successful scriptwriter.
This isn't the case for George Cruz though because he's struck by three life crises in one go. His mother dies, his wife abandons him and he's suffering from writer's block as he desperately tries to write another hit.
And then he travels to Mexico to fulfill his mother's final wishes and he meets Carmen Jurado. She heals his heart, becomes his muse and moves to his Beverly Hills mansion, along with her entire family.
What could possibly go wrong?
