Brigitte Muñoz-Liebowitz is having a great summer. The “Gordita Chronicles” showrunner has just renewed her deal with Sony Pictures TV, a multi-year pact which will see her continue to develop scripted comedy series across cable and streaming, the same week that her new show premieres. Deadline broke the news.

“Gordita Chronicles” charts the story of a family that moves to Miami from the Dominican Republic in the 1980s, as recalled by daughter Carlota ‘Cucu’ Castelli when she’s a journalist adult (voiced by an unseen Dascha Polanco, “Orange is the New Black”). Eva Longoria directed the pilot and exec produces the comedy.

While Claudia Forestieri created the HBO Max comedy series, Muñoz-Liebowitz — the daughter of a Colombian immigrant mother and a New York Jew father — saw parallels between the story and her own life. “I was one of the brownest people in my class and the only person with two Zs and a tilde in their name, and I had very much a feeling of being the weirdo outsider,” she said. “A lot of the things I really connected to when I read the original script were those feelings, and I also really saw my own family in the story of the Castellis and ‘Gordita Chronicles,’ so many of the stories my mom had told me about when she came to the United States were some of the same exact stories in the show.”

Working her way up from script coordinator on CBS’ “Person of Interest,” to a writers assistant, to her own writing gigs on the likes of “Diary of a Future President” and “One Day At a Time,” Muñoz-Liebowitz was promoted to co-executive producer on shows including the latter two and “Love Life.” She caught the attention of Sony TV while working on the Emmy award-winning “One Day At a Time,” signing her first overall deal with them in 2020.

“[Muñoz-Liebowitz] did an incredible job running the amazing first season of ‘Gordita Chronicles’ for HBO Max, where she helped build a very strong room of diverse writers and supported creator Claudia Forestieri’s great vision. We are beyond excited to have Brigitte tell her stories and continue our wonderful relationship together,” said Glenn Adilman, EVP Comedy Development, Sony Pictures TV.

Muñoz-Liebowitz already has several projects in the works, including “Birthright,” the story of a Latinx woman who converts to Judaism for her fiancé then gets dumped.

“Gordita Chronicles” is now streaming on HBO Max.
