Jane the Virgin recurring guest star Diane Guerrero has partnered with three key auspices behind the CW dramedy, executive producer/showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman, executive producer Ben Silverman and co-executive producer Paul Sciarrotta, for In the Country We Love, a drama project, which has been set up at CBS.
Guerrero is attached to star in the drama, based on her memoir by the same name. Jane producer CBS TV Studios, where Urman is under an overall deal, is the studio.
Written by Sciarrotta, In the Country We Love centers on a successful corporate attorney who starts taking pro-bono cases for undocumented immigrants after her past as the child of deported parents is revealed by a family emergency.
Sciarrotta, Snyder and Guerrero executive produce alongside Silverman though his new company, Propagate Content.
Guerrero’s memoir “In the Country We Love: My Family Divided,” co-authored with bestselling author Michelle Burford, chronicles Guerrero’s harrowing experience as a teenager. She was 14 when her parents were taken from their Boston home by immigration agents and deported to their native Columbia while she was at school. From then on, Guerrero, who was born in the U.S., had to rely on the kindness of family friends.
