The plot is based on the Mexican [[TV series]] ''Ellas son... la Alegría del Hogar'', which translates in English as "They Are... the Joy of the Home" and was heavily influenced by Cherry's previous series ''[[Desperate Housewives]]''. The Mexican series is based on an original concept by Gloria Calzada, Juan Meyer, and Salvador Rizo. The American adaptation was to follow four maids with ambition and dreams of their own while they work for the rich and famous in [[Beverly Hills, California]].

For the fourth season, filming started January 14, 2016 and episode titles will be cleaning puns. [[Brianna Brown]], [[Brett Cullen]], and [[Gilles Marini]] will not return as series regulars. In January 2016, it was announced the executive producer [[Eva Longoria]] would guest star in season 4 while Longoria's former ''Desperate Housewives'' costar [[James Denton]] had been tapped for the recurring role of Peter. [[Ryan McPartlin]] will make a debut this season by playing Kyle who is a sweet, sexy — and, most importantly, filthy rich — newcomer who falls for one of the core maids. However, he has an unusually close relationship with his mother, Frances who is played by [[Stephanie Faracy]]. Also, [[Julie Claire]] who was recurring as Gail Fleming in Season 3 will return in Season 4. In early February, [[Carlos Ponce]] was announced to play Ben who is the manager of a famous movie star, but also a dangerous-yet-handsome thirty-something who specializes in manipulating people. He's also described as charming and mysterious. Carter Birchwell was assigned to play Spence and Peri's son Tucker. [[Katherine LaNasa]] will play Shannon Greene, Peri's older sister. In addition, Argentinian actress [[Sol Rodríguez]] would recur as Daniela while [[Nathan Owens]] has been promoted as a series regular.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tvline.com/2016/01/12/devious-maids-eva-longoria-james-denton-cast-season-4-spoilers/|title=Devious Maids: Desperate Housewives' Eva Longoria and James Denton Appearing in Season 4|date=January 12, 2016|first=Andy|last=Swift|work=[[TVLine]]|publisher=[[Penske Media Corporation]]|access-date=January 12, 2016}}</ref>
