ABC is eyeing a potential series from two “Stumptown” writers.
The network has set up a development plus penalty deal for Latinx family drama “The Three Joaquins,” which hails from scribes Manuel Figueroa and Jordan Heimer.
Partially based on Figueroa’s childhood experience, “The Three Joaquins” tells the story of a wealthy and powerful Latinx family who have their Pasadena world turned upside down when the living proof of their father’s secret life arrives on their doorstep in the form of a 16-year-old kid who shares nothing with his family but their name.
The project is being produced by ABC Signature, with Figueroa and Heimer set to write and executive produce.
Other than “Stumptown,” which was canceled in Sept. due to Covid-19 after being renewed earlier in the year, the pair also worked together on Starz’s “Step Up: High Water.” The series, based on the “Step Up” films,...

The Practice alumna Camryn Manheim is set as a lead opposite Cobie Smulders, Michael Ealy and Mark Webber in Stumptown, ABC’s drama pilot from writer Jason Richman, Ruben Fleischer and ABC Studios.
Written by Richman and directed by James Griffiths, Stumptown is inspired by the graphic novels published by Oni Press. It follows Dex Parios (Smulders), a strong, assertive and unapologetically sharp-witted Army veteran working as a Pi in Portland, Or. With a complicated personal history and only herself to rely on, she solves other people’s messes with a blind eye toward her own.
Manheim will play Lieutenant Roberta Volk, Hoffman’s (Ealy) superior officer on the Portland Police Department, who has a no-nonsense, big-city vibe. Her path crosses with Dex when she supervises Hoffman’s investigation into a kidnapping case.
Adrian Martinez also co-stars in the pilot.

Avengers co-star Cobie Smulders is returning to network television while staying in the world of comic book adaptations as the lead of Stumptown, ABC’s drama pilot from writer Jason Richman, Ruben Fleischer and ABC Studios.
Written by Richman, Stumptown is inspired by the graphic novels published by Oni Press. It follows Dex Parios (Smulders), a strong, assertive, and unapologetically sharp-witted Army veteran working as a P.I. in Portland, Or. With a complicated personal history and only herself to rely on, she solves other people’s messes with a blind eye toward her own.
Smulders’ Dex is a whip-smart, hard-luck heroine you can’t help but get behind. Once a decorated Military Intelligence officer overseas, Dex is now back home in Portland, Oregon, unable to hold down a steady job, spinning her wheels, running up gambling debts, waiting for trouble to catch up with her — and so it does.
