Judy Reyes, Roselyn Sanchez, Ana Ortiz and Dania Ramirez star in “Devious Maids”

'Maid' for a third season: You know what they say: keep your friends close, but keep your enemies even closer.

The housewives of Beverly Hills may be blissfully unaware of the fact that they've made enemies of a group of women who may be a little too close for comfort: their maids.

The third season of Lifetime's hit drama "Devious Maids" is heading to screens Monday, June 1, with new faces and new murders coming hand in hand.

Naya Rivera has come aboard the drama as Blanca, a new maid who's landed the perfect job with the perfect Beverly Hills family. Or has she? It won't be long before Blanca makes some terrible discoveries about her new employers that will flip her life upside down.

Rivera is best known for her portrayal of Santana Lopez in Fox's "Glee," and she's also popped up in "The Bernie Mac Show," "CSI: Miami" and even in "Family Matters."

Unfortunately for fans, a few series regulars are being swept under the rug -- metaphorically, of course. Edy Ganem ("Entourage") and Drew Van Acker ("Pretty Little Liars"), who play Valentina and Remi, will no longer be series regulars, instead popping up periodically as guest stars; Mark Deklin ("GCB"), who played Nicholas Deering, has left the show entirely.

As the third season gets underway, the maids will have a bit of a mess to clean up. The second season ended on a nail-biting cliffhanger, with Ty (Gideon Glick, "It Could Be Worse") firing shots into a celebrating wedding party. The big question as season 3 winds up is: who bit the bullet?

It's that question, and the fallout that comes from it, that will no doubt be driving this season. "Devious Maids" returns to Lifetime Monday, June 1.

The 'hunt' is on: Demon hunting, take two.

ABC Family is taking on a literary series with a lot of fans behind it, and the hope -- from the network and fans, both -- is that the TV show is better received than the 2013 film.

"Shadowhunters," which has begun filming in Toronto, is based on Cassandra Clare's series of novels, stories and graphic novels about an organization of human-angel hybrids who fight demons.

Although the 2013 big screen adaptation, "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones," was a disastrous flop that was panned by critics and avoided by audiences, there's high hopes that a TV serial can better do the material justice.

Headlining "Shadowhunters'" cast is Katherine McNamara as Clary, a young woman who discovers that her seemingly normal human life is a lie when her mother is kidnapped by a powerful demon. McNamara starred in 2014's "Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn" and has been seen in "Glee," "Touch" and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."

Of course, every hero or heroine needs a love interest, and in this case that role belongs to Dominic Sherwood ("Vampire Academy," 2014). Rounding out the cast are Alberto Rosende ("Blue Bloods"), Matthew Daddario ("Growing Up and Other Lies," 2014) and Isaiah Mustafa ("Nikita").

With a wealth of material to work with and a built-in fan base, "Shadowhunters" already has a head start. With filming just now getting underway, watch for it to appear next year on ABC Family.

HBO rising: What a difference a year can make.

The fifth annual Critics' Choice Television Awards are being held in beautiful Los Angeles on Sunday, May 31, and the list of nominees this year is looking pretty different from last year's.

The annual ceremony, which will be broadcast live on A&E, along with a red carpet pre-show, is held by the Broadcast Television Journalists Association to honor the best in prime-time TV from the past year.

Last year's nominations were dominated by FX, but this year HBO has knocked that channel from its throne -- at least in terms of the sheer number of nominations.

The Home Box Office has earned a jaw-dropping 27 nominations, with its miniseries "Olive Kitteridge" tying FX's "Justified" with five nominations each. FX has fallen back to a still respectable 16 nominations this year.

Of course, a nomination is all well and good, but it's winning the award that really matters. The Critics' Choice Television Awards recognize both shows and actors, and all the lists of nominees read like the crème de la crème of modern television.

While "Olive Kitteridge" and "Justified" may lead the nominations pack, several shows are biting at their heels with four nominations each. "Bessie" (HBO), "The Americans" (FX), "The Good Wife" (CBS), Wolf Hall (PBS) and "Transparent" (Amazon) all fall into this category.

It's clearly been a good year for HBO, and, with a whopping 27 nominations, the quality of its programming sure is being recognized. The Critics' Choice Television Awards will be broadcast live on A&E on Sunday, May 31.
