It’s a great way to end the week for the producers, cast and crew members of NBC’s Lopez vs. Lopez when NBC announced this past Friday morning that the show is coming back for a second season. The comedy series stars George Lopez and Mayan Lopez and is loosely based on their real life relationship of an estranged father and daughter who reconnect after ten years.
The show is resonating with audiences, but U.S. Latinos have had the strongest impact on the ratings for Lopez vs. Lopez. The show had the highest concentration of English-dominant U.S. Latinos homes among all broadcast primetime series. For the live + 35 (35 days after) viewing, Lopez vs. Lopez it had the highest portion of “long-tail” viewing among all NBC comedies on Peacock, meaning Lopez vs. Lopez is viewed more after its initial episode airing date than any other series on NBC.
Lopez vs. Lopez will return midseason, joining other returning scripted shows that includes Law & Order: Organized Crime, La Brea and Magnum P.I.
We can now look forward to another season the dysfunctional Lopez family that explores the pain, joy and comedy that ensues after the euphoria of the reunion dies down and new challenges ensue. Father and daughter are working hard to get along and their familia is there to to help. The rest of the family includes Matt Shively playing Mayan’s husband, Brice Gonzalez as Mayan’s son, Selenis Leyva as Mayan’s mother-in-law, and Al Madrigal, plying George’s loyal sidekick.
Lopez vs. Lopez creator/showrunner Debby Wolfe executive produces with Bruce Helford, George Lopez, Michael Rotenberg, and Katie Newman. Mayan Lopez is on board as a producer.
Lopez vs Lopez is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Mohawk Productions, Travieso Productions, Mi Vida Loba and 3 Arts
