JENNIFER LOPEZ is bringing her 2002 romantic comedy Maid In Mahatten to the small screen.

The 39-year-old has teamed up with US TV network ABC to produce a new series based on the hit film.

La Lopez will not star in the programme, but will serve as an executive producer - overseeing the production and the script.

The show will mirror the plot of the big screen version, with a struggling maid working at a luxurious New York hotel, but it will feature an entirely different character.

Writer CHAD HODGE tells the Hollywood Reporter, "The show is a different maid in a different Manhattan. She will be very integral in the pilot and series."
