America Ferrera broke out playing a college-bound young woman struggling to connect with her mother in Patricia Cardoso’s “Real Women Have Curves” — and now she’s set to tell another story about a teen in a complicated family situation. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ferrera is set to make her feature directorial debut with Netflix’s “I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter,” an adaptation of Erika L. Sánchez’s YA bestseller of the same name.

Published in 2017, the award-winning “I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter” follows Julia Reyes, “the precocious and strong-willed teenaged daughter of first-generation Mexican immigrants. She often clashes with her more traditional parents, who wish she were more like her sister Olga, the platonic ideal of a Mexican daughter,” the source synopsizes. “However, when Olga is killed in a tragic accident, it is up to Julia to hold her family together.”

Linda Yvette Chávez will pen the adaptation, and Anonymous Content and MACRO are among the producers. MACRO’s Greta Fuentes and Aevitas Creative Management’s Michelle Brower will exec produce.

“I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter” will mark the reunion of Ferrera and Chávez, who previously collaborated on “Gentefied.” Ferrera exec produces and has directed eps of the Netflix comedy about a Latinx family living in a rapidly-gentrifying Los Angeles, and Chávez is co-creator. The show has been renewed for a second season.

Ferrera has also directed installments of “Superstore,” the NBC comedy about big box store employees she led for five years. She left the show last year, at the beginning of its sixth and final season. Ferrera became the first Latina to win the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in ABC’s “Ugly Betty.” Her other credits include the “How to Train You Dragon” and “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” franchises.
