by The Deadline Team
August 14, 2014


Justine Lupe has joined the cast of "Cristela", ABC‘s semi-autobiographical multi-camera comedy co-created by and starring rising stand-up comedian Cristela Alonzo.

The show, co-written by Alonzo and Kevin Hench, tells the story of Cristela (Alonzo), an American Latina straddling two cultures while not fully belonging to either.

Cristela, in her sixth year of law school and living rent-free with her older, thinner, prettier, more traditional sister Daniela (Roxanna Ortega) and brother-in-law Felix (Carlos Ponce), lands a prestigious law firm internship as her old world, outspoken, good-hearted mother Natalia (Terri Hoyos) hectors her about getting a real job, her brother-in-law encourages her to move out and her sister runs low on patience.


Lupe will play Maddie, an intern at the law firm.
