One Day at a Time - Justina Machado Cast as Lead In Netflix Remake

I’ve learned that Six Feet Under and ER alumna Justina Machado has been cast as the lead in One Day at a Time, Netflix’s Latino family remake of Norman Lear’s classic sitcom. The 13-episode series, from Sony Pictures TV, co-stars Oscar winner Rita Moreno.

The multi-camera comedy, written by Gloria Calderon Kellett (How I Met Your Mother) and Mike Royce (Everybody Loves Raymond), revolves around a Cuban-American family. It centers on Penelope (Machado), a recently separated former military mom who is navigating a new single life while raising her radical teenaged daughter and socially adept tween son, with the “help” of her old school Cuban-born mom and a friends-without-benefits building manager named Schneider. Moreno will play the grandmother. A single mom, Penelope is a former Army medical specialist, now running a doctor’s office and dreaming of medical school. In the original series, the lead role of the divorced mom was played by Bonnie Franklin.
