Music-centric television shows, where impromptu serenades are fluent and power love ballads are frequent, have won the hearts of teens, tweens and Netflix-binging adults everywhere. "Star Crazy," produced by George Lopez and penned by the writers from "The Wonder Years'" Bob Brush and Mel Harris, is the name of the upcoming hour-long musical drama about a Latina singer who escalates from rags and riches, taking the nation by storm.

The development of "Star Crazy" comes in the wake of music-themed series like NBC's recently canceled "Smash," five season-strong "Glee" on FOX, and ABC's "Nashville;" also a "Fame"-like drama from Sam Haskell and Debbie Allen is also in development, which will also CW. Not only do shows of this nature thrive, but the shows earn additional revenue through album sales, which feature the series' prominent original songs or charming renditions. The CW's new project will also be executive produced by Lopez's Travieso Productions president, Leslie Kolins Small.

Lopez has a number of things on this plate, particularly the onslaught of interesting projects that he will be a part of in the coming year. He will make the lead appearance in the film "Speedy Gonzales;" he will produce and star in Pantelion Film's "La Vida Robot;" he currently has an FX comedy series in the works, called "Saint George." He is also in partnership with South Shore, a venture between Televisa USA and Liongate, and will produce a number of TV projects, including a number of comedies and action dramas.

Lopez's past achievements includes his own series, "George Lopez" (2002-2007); His own talk show, "Lopez Tonight" (2009-2011); and a great deal of voice acting: "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" (2008, "Marmaduke" (2010),"Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2" (2011), "The Smurfs" (2011), "Rio" (2011), "Escape from Planet Earth" (2013), and "The Smurfs 2" (2013).
