12 AUGUST 2022 - News of another international series for Apple TV+. The Cupertino-company issued a press release this week announcing the six-episode dramedy “Land of Women.”

Based on Sandra Barneda’s best selling novel of the same name, the series centers on Gala, her aging mother, and her college-age daughter. When Gala’s husband skips town owing money to bad guys, the three women flee New York City, heading to the same Spanish wine town from which Gala’s mother fled 50-years earlier. They hope to keep their identities hidden, though history has a way of catching up, it seems.

“Desperate Housewives” Eva Longoria will play Gala in the series. She also serves as an executive producer. Carmen Maura (“Volver,” “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown”) plays Gala’s mom. The show will be “shot in both English and Spanish and made available to watch in each language,” according to Apple. “Land of Women” is currently in preproduction in Spain. No word on a premier date for the series.
