“I had such an incredibly positive, warm, yummy experience making that show for five years and when I left I was like, ‘Okay, I want to do another family story, but I want to do it in a different way.’ I wanted to do it in a different genre and I wanted it to feel like a Nancy Meyers rom-com, which we never get to see ourselves at the center of. That’s really what built ‘With Love.’” Calderón Kellett’s new show, the first of many under her overall deal with Amazon Studios. "With Love" centers around two siblings Lily and Jorge Diaz, who are are desperately trying to make their way through the trials and tribulations of life, love, and family.

With Love, premieres December 17th on Prime Video, each episode centers around a specific holiday and, once again, incorporates many of Calderón Kellett’s own experiences.

The one-hour series "Hipster Death Rattle" from CBS Studios—based on the novel of the same name by Richie Narvaez—is set in a historically Latino neighborhood that’s falling victim to aggressive gentrification. Both Rafael Agustín and Marvin Lemus will executive produce alongside Wilmer Valderrama and Kaitlin Saltzman for WV Entertainment, and Corinne Brinkerhoff and Tiffany Grant for Green Ribbon. Rafael Agustín will also write, and Marvin Lemus is set to direct.

The show’s logline is, “Someone is killing the ‘woke’ yet pretentious new hipsters. But who? And worse – do the locals even care? The victims were just hiking up rent anyway!'”

"Nexus Dream" synopsis: The film sees two brilliant minds, each haunted by demons from personal tragedy, attempt to reinvent themselves through the discovery and formulation of a serum that transforms dying human organs into healthy ones. But the dangerous entanglements of one, and the dark, ominous presence that shadows the other, threaten to destroy not only their lives but the very purpose of their discovery for mankind.
