Netflix has ordered a new Latinx comedy from Mario Lopez and Seth Kurland called “The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia,” a spokesperson for the streaming service confirmed to TheWrap on Thursday.
The series, which received a 16-episode order and was co-created by Lopez and Kurland, stars newcomer Paulina Chavez as Ashley Garcia. Per the network, when Garcia — the world’s only 15-and-a-half-year-old robotics engineer and rocket scientist — gets the chance to work for Nasa, she moves across the country to live with her Uncle Victor, a pro football player turned high school coach who’s never met a responsibility he can’t shirk.
Jencarlos Canela will play Victor — he previously starred in “Telenovela” on ABC and will appear in the upcoming series “Grand Hotel,” also on ABC.
