Eva Longoria to Executive Produce NBC Series Inspired by Sex Therapist Laura Berman

Eva Longoria is set to bring a little bit of sex therapy to NBC.

According to Deadline, the former DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star has signed on to executive produce a new multi-camera comedy for NBC, inspired by the life of famed sex therapist Laura Berman. The series comes from Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont.

The project will follow "a female sex & relationship therapist who helps patients deal with intimacy, love and unusual fetishes - but that's nothing compared to navigating the relationships with her ex-husband, his new girlfriend and her own mother, all while raising her two young sons."

Longoria previously helped bring the short-lived dating show Ready for Love to NBC. It was cancelled after two episodes.

The film and television star won a People's Choice Award for "Favorite Female TV Star," has been named one of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" and was selected three years in a row in the prestigious Forbes Celebrity 100, as well as being named "Philanthropist of the Year" by the Hollywood Reporter.
