 LOS
ANGELES July 18, 2007 — "American Family,'' the first Hispanic drama on U.S.
broadcast television, will return to the Public Broadcasting Service with 13 new
episodes.
The series, from filmmaker Gregory Nava and
with an ensemble cast including Edward James Olmos, Raquel Welch, Sonia Braga
and Esai Morales, is about an extended east Los Angeles family.
Johnson & Johnson, which had been the sole
corporate underwriter for the first season in 2002, will be joined as a sponsor
by the American Legacy Foundation, a nonprofit anti-smoking group.
The new episodes will begin airing in
April, preceded in September by a re-airing of episodes from the first season,
PBS announced Saturday.
