June Squibb to Make Special Appearance on DEVIOUS MAIDS as the Mother of Susan Lucci's Genevieve

Academy Award, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominee June Squibb (Nebraska) will appear as a Special Guest Star on DEVIOUS MAIDS during its upcoming second season. She will portray Velma, the mother of Genevieve Delatour (Susan Lucci) in a two episode arc.

DEVIOUS MAIDS will return on Sunday, April 20, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Lifetime. The series is executive produced by Marc Cherry and Eva Longoria, and stars Ana Ortiz, Dania Ramírez, Roselyn Sánchez, Edy Ganem and Judy Reyes as five maids with ambition and dreams of their own while working for the rich and famous in Beverly Hills. Longoria will direct the series’ eagerly anticipated season two opener, marking her television directorial debut.

DEVIOUS MAIDS is set in a world where murder and mayhem collide in the mansions of Beverly Hills’ wealthiest and most powerful families. Class warfare has never been as fun and dirty as it is in the tiny enclave where the staff is as clever, witty and downright as devilish as their employers. The series centers on a close-knit group of maids, Marisol (Ortiz), Rosie (Ramírez), Carmen (Sánchez), Valentina (Ganem) and Zoila (Reyes), who are bonded together by their jobs, life struggles and the melodramatic universe that engulfs their employers.

DEVIOUS MAIDS also stars Susan Lucci, Grant Show, Rebecca Wisocky, Tom Irwin, Mariana Klaveno, Matt Cedeño, Melinda Page Hamilton and Drew Van Acker. Joining the cast this season are Dominic Adams, Joanna Adler, Mark Deklin and Colin Woodell.

Following last season’s revelation of Flora’s murderer, Rosie’s shocking arrest by immigration agents, the demise of Valentina and Zoila's relationship and Carmen’s fake engagement, season two promises to deliver even more excitement. Beverly Hills is hit by a wave of criminal activity that leaves its residents in a vulnerable situation. Meanwhile, Marisol engages in a new romance but quickly discovers there is more than meets the eye to her new lover. Zoila’s need to control everything starts to take a toll on her personal life, especially with Valentina, who is now working for a surprising new employer. Rosie’s immigration status is in flux, while Carmen embraces her life in the limelight as the fiancée to a pop star.

Inspired by the hit telenovela, ELLAS SON... LA ALEGRIA DEL HOGAR, DEVIOUS MAIDS is produced by ABC Studios. The series was created by Marc Cherry and is executive produced by Cherry, Sabrina Wind (Desperate Housewives), Eva Longoria (DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES), Larry Shuman (Kissing Miranda), David Lonner, John Mass and Televisa USA’s Paul Presburger and Michael Garcia.
