Exclusive: Latin trap is coming to the Disney empire via the co-creator of Empire.
Freeform has put the Puerto Rico-set Trap Queen in development with Danny Strong executive producing, I’ve learned. The music rich project from the American territory was created by Scandal and Roswell, New Mexico writer Miguel Nolla.
An alum of the Disney•ABC Writing Program, the San Juan-born Nolla will serve as showrunner on Trap Queen.
The drama focuses on a gay young man who returns to Puerto Rico after a life changing event. With the burgeoning local music scene as both the backdrop and the soundtrack, that move forces him to face family and romantic issues he thought he had left behind and never expected.
Along with Nolla and Strong, Danny Strong Productions’ Mandy Safavi will also EP the 20th Television venture with Sb Projects’ Scooter Braun, James Shin and Scott Manson.

Scandal, Season 3, Episode 17, “Flesh and Blood”
Written by Severiano Canales and Miguel Nolla
Directed by Debbie Allen
Airs Thursdays at 10pm Est on ABC
On this week’s Scandal, Olivia and Co. attempt to protect the president, Jake copes with the death of B613, Mellie seeks a paternity test, and Mama Pope hides a bomb.
Remember when Pope and Associates used to handle actual cases that weren’t necessarily relevant to their personal lives? Each week a new crisis came to Olivia’s doorstep, and the team pulled together to handle it–sadly, that team spirit’s been missing for most of this season.
