CBS Studios is delving into comedy with a new project centered on the dynamic duo Mimi Davila and Laura Di Lorenzo, collectively known as The Chonga Girls. The pair, celebrated for their vibrant performances, will not only star in but also co-write and co-executive produce the multi-camera comedy series.
Titled The Chonga Girls, the show navigates the adventures of Mimi and Laura, two audacious childhood friends from Miami who embark on a journey to Hollywood to pursue fame. However, their aspirations take an unexpected turn when they find themselves working at a makeup counter near the famed Walk of Fame.
Marlena Rodriguez, acclaimed for her work on Silicon Valley and Clone High, joins the project as the writer and executive producer. Alongside Rodriguez, the series will be executive produced by Wilmer Valderrama and Kaitlin Saltzman under the WV Entertainment banner, along with Al Madrigal.
Mimi Davila, a versatile Cuban/Bulgarian talent, has garnered attention for her comedic prowess, most notably in the viral video Chongalicious. Her collaborator, Laura Di Lorenzo, hailing from Venezuela and recognized for her contributions to Selena: The Series, brings her unique perspective to the table.
WV Entertainment, committed to amplifying the narratives of LatinX and underrepresented communities, continues its mission with this project. With a focus on fostering diversity, the company’s partnership with CBS Studios underscores its dedication to inclusive storytelling.
Wilmer Valderrama, a driving force behind WV Entertainment, champions LatinX representation not only in television but also through podcasting initiatives. His collaboration with Al Madrigal aligns with their shared vision of elevating Latino stories in Hollywood.
As The Chonga Girls takes shape, it promises to inject fresh energy into the comedy landscape while celebrating the vibrant culture of LatinX communities. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting venture into laughter and friendship.
