While the beauty has recently sold nine projects this season, she is still executive producing Lifetime network's Devious Maids. My San Antonio reported that the star is also executive produce Pair Of Aces along with partner, Ben Spector, and writer Nikki Toscana. The ABC drama will be "loosely based" on San Antonio's political brothers who are twins, Juián and Joaquín Castro. "After reading the Vogue article, I though 'What if we did a show about brothers on opposite sides of the political spectrum,'" Longoria wrote via email. "And with a dark family history that is full of skeletons - so actually it's the opposite of the Castro brothers! Haha," she says. "I think Texas politics are as big as national politics so it was an interesting background for a show."

A cast has yet to be decided on but beauty and brains seem to make great teammates!
