Eva Longoria and George Lopez will star in a Disney+ remake of author Judith Viorst’s best-selling 1972 children’s book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
The book was first adapted as TV special for HBO in 1990 and a live-action Disney feature film in 2014.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, this new version follows a Mexican American family who have recently lost their connection to each other and their roots, as they embark on an epic road trip that immediately goes hilariously wrong.
Longoria will play Alexander’s mother, a travel writer who has lost her passion for work, while Lopez has been cast as the family’s grandfather, a tough biker.

Filming is slated to begin this spring in New Mexico.
A release date for Disney+ has not been announced yet.
