Devious Maids Promo: Keep Your Friends Close...

Lifetime has released the first promo for Devious Maids.

From the mind of Marc Cherry, the upcoming drama stars Ana Ortiz, Judy Reyes, Dania Ramirez and Roselyn Sánchez as a quartet that works for the very well off in Beverly Hills.

And the following trailer makes it clear this series will be similar in tone and subject matter to Cherry's most famous creation, Desperate Housewives.

ABC order the pilot last January, but then chose not to turn it into a series. Lifetime then swept the Maids up and they will premiere on June 23. Watch the teaser now:
