What Is Mexican Beverly Hills About?

What is NCIS star Wilmer Valderrama’s new series, Mexican Beverly Hills about? According to Deadline, this is a single-camera project, based on an essay written by Erick Galindo in the New York Times. This is the story of a Mexican-American family. Although working class, they move to Downey, a “heavily Latinx” community that is also known as the “Mexican Beverly Hills.”

The family finds this move rather difficult. On one hand, they do fit in culturally, but they stand out in many other ways.

Valderrama, Galindo and Aaron Izek developed this series for CBS. In addition, Galindo and Izek are writing the story. However, all three will executive produce, along with Kaitlin Saltzman. This will be under Wilmer’s own production company, WV Entertainment.

Although many That 70s Show fans cherish Valderrama as the hysterical Fez, it does not seem that he will be acting in this movie. But, we know he knows comedy, and that bodes well for the future success of this new venture.

Are you still concerned that Wilmer Valderrama will leave NCIS?
