Get ready for Wisteria Lane, en espanol.

U.S. broadcaster Univision Communications Inc. said on Monday it will produce a Spanish-language version of ABC's hit show "Desperate Housewives," marking a departure from its heavy dependence on prime time shows provided by its Mexican partner Televisa. Wisteria Lane is where action takes place.

"Amas de Casa Desesperadas" will become the first production venture between Los Angeles-based Univision and Disney-ABC International Television Latin America, a unit of The Walt Disney Co..

The show will be produced by Buenos Aires-based Pol-ka Producciones, which previously made versions of the show for the Argentine, Colombian and Ecuadorean markets. Another version for Brazil is underway.

The actresses for the leading female roles have yet to be chosen.

A few months ago, local media said Televisa was in talks to produce "Desperate Housewives," but the broadcaster never confirmed such reports.
