Two TV leading ladies, Desperate Housewives' Eva Longoria and former Cold Case star Kathryn Morris are behind Sendera, a Texas border town soap that is in the works at ABC. Additionally, Longoria and her Unbelievable Entertainment are producing two other projects, Parenting by Committee, a single-camera comedy at ABC and Aztec, a potential mini-series for Starz executive produced by Alfonso Arau.

Sendera, from Unbelievable, Morris' Hotplate Prods. and ABC Studios, is described as a modern day Shakespearean drama about two wealthy families, one from Texas the other from Mexico, locked in a struggle for power, land, sex and legacy. Morris developed the project with Alan Barnette, Josh Gold and Sally Robinson, with Robinson set to write the script. Morris, Barnette and Robinson are executive producing with Texas born-and-raised Parker and Unbelievable's Virginia Trinkle.

Parenting by Committee, from writers Alyssa Embree and Jessica Koosed, Unbelievable and ABC Studios,?is about four single women who find their lives completely changed when one discovers she is having a baby. The four proceed to raise the boy without a man via parenting by committee.

Based on the best-selling book by?Gary Jennings, it is set in Tenochtitlan during its empirical height just prior to its fall to Spanish invaders.?Nicholas Meyer (The Odyssey) is writing the script.?Longoria is with CAA and Management 360.
