Lifetime has cast the 46-year-old Puerto Rican actress in Family Pictures, the movie based on the novel of the same name by internationally best-selling author Jane Green.
Machado will co-star in the film alongside Elisabeth Röhm and Matt Passmore.
Family Pictures stars Machado (Netflix’s One Day at a Time) and Röhm (Law & Order) as Maggie, strangers living on opposite coasts, leading very similar lives with husbands that travel for work too much and daughters about to leave the nest. But when their daughters befriend each other on a college tour, they soon discover a shocking secret that threatens to tear both families apart. Passmore’s role was not specified.
Manu Boyer is directing from a script by Ilene Rosenzweig.
Family Pictures is currently in production in Vancouver.
Machado’s credits include Jane the Virgin, Queen of the South, Six Feet Under and Devious Maids.
