Lopez vs Lopez is an American sitcom television series created by George Lopez, Mayan Lopez and Debby Wolfe that premiered on NBC on November 4, 2022.

Premise[edit]

George Lopez, the owner of a moving company that went bankrupt is forced to move into his daughter Mayan’s house. The problem is that Mayan and George have just started speaking after being estranged for most of her teenage years. Now they seek to heal their relationship and learn more about each other. Meanwhile, Quinten, Mayan’s husband, and Mayan and Quinten’s son, Chance, are adjusting to George living with them, and Rosie, Mayan’s mom and George’s ex-wife, also drops by, usually to either see Mayan, or throw shade.
