Miss XV is inspired by the 1987 telenovela Quinceanera, starring Thalía and Adela Noriega. Producer Pedro Damián explained that the project was not a remake, nor is it an adaptation of the 1987 telenovela, Quinceanera. The project was first announced in late 2010.

In 2010, Miss XV (previously called Miss XV: Sueña Princesa) was announced as the latest television production from producer Pedro Damián as a collaboration for Canal 5, and Nickelodeon Latin America. Mexican actresses Danna Paola, Natasha Dupeyrón, and Renata Notni were all cast as leads for the telenovela. A trailer for the telenovela featuring all three actresses was released in late 2010. Mexican actor Eddy Vilard was previously attached to the project for a lead role alongside Danna Paola, but dropped out.

By the beginning of 2011, Miss XV was cancelled before production began for unknown reasons. However, in June 2011, the series was reformatted and recast. Most of the original actors previously attached to the project were dropped and their roles were recast. Casting was conducted in Mexico City during June and July 2011. Dupeyrón's role was not recast and she remained an original cast member. Danna Paola and Renata Notni were both dropped from the project. Danna stated that she was no longer interested and wished to work on her solo album.

Paulina Goto was cast as the lead protagonist, replacing Danna Paola. Eiza González auditioned for one of two lead roles. Gonzalez was considered for a part, but was later told that she lost the role because producers felt she was too old. Argentine singer and actress Brenda Asnicar also auditioned for a role, but did not receive a part.

In August 2011, producers had completed casting in Mexico City. Paulina Goto, Eleazar Gómez, Natasha Dupeyrón, Yago Muñoz, and Jack Durate were confirmed as the first five lead cast members. However, Pedro Damián revealed that producers were looking to cast third actress as the female antagonist "La Black Princess". In mid-August 2011, newcomer Macarena Achaga, an Argentine MTV Latin America television hostess and model, was confirmed as the lead female antagonist, Leonora Martínez .

Una Maid en Manhattan: a Spanish-language telenovela

Una Maid en Manhattan (Maid in Manhattan) is a Spanish-language telenovela produced by United States-based television network Telemundo Studios, Miami. Una Maid en Manhattan is also based on the 2002 movie "Maid In Manhattan" starring Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes.

As of November 29, 2011, Telemundo is airing the serial weeknights at 8pm/7pm central, as part of the 2011-2012 season. The protagonists are Litzy and Eugenio Siller, and filming began in late 2011. As with most of its other telenovelas, the network broadcasts English subtitles with closed captions on CC3.

Synopsis:
"Una Maid in Manhattan" tells the story of Marisa Lujan (Litzy), who runs a small hotel in the village of Michoacan. Before the events shown in the show, she falls in love with Victor, an American man who visits Michoacán every year for the Christmas holidays. She becomes pregnant with Victor's child.

At the start of the show, Marisa's son, Lalo, is ten years old and Marisa's dream of a happy life with Victor has given way to a more troubling reality: the town of Michoacán has become a center for drug trafficking. Among the seedy inhabitants is Miguelito, an old friend of Marisa's who now heads a powerful cartel which buys Marisa's hotel and turns it into a headquarters for drug deals and murder.

Marisa decides to migrate north to the United States for the sake of her son. Victor proposes to her and thus provides means of obtaining legal documents to live and work within the United States. In Los Angeles, Marisa and Victor are married, but things quickly sour when Marisa catches Victor cheating with another woman on their wedding day. She quickly decides to move to New York, where her childhood friend Belinda (Maite Embil) offers help. Thanks to Belinda's good word, Marisa finds employment as a maid in a Manhattan hotel and, through good work, begins to gain the trust and respect of the hotel manager. Consecutive wins as Employee of the Month and the encouragement of her maid friends begin to convince her that she should apply for the open position of assistant manager.

Her aspirations for advancement are complicated by a mixup involving Christopher Parker (Eugenio Siller) a wealthy man and New York Senator's son, who is staying at the hotel. Christopher Parker follows Lalo into the premier suite only to find Marisa dressed in a rich guest's glamorous clothes. After a walk in Central Park, he begins to fall in love with Marisa. She, in turn, feels for him what she had convinced herself was not possible after her problems with Victor and other men.

However, Marisa is also a responsible and loving mother and woman. Although she admits to very much liking Christopher, she cannot justify jeopardizing her son's education or her job for what she considers to be a fairytale. Also in the mix is Sara (Vanessa Villela), another hotel guest and a vapid fashion critic who has set her sight on Christopher Parker.

Though Christopher is smitten, Marisa feels guilty about misleading him about her true identity as a maid. She is also reluctant to continue seeing him as she is worried about the status of her job and as she considers they come from far too different backgrounds to make things work. It will take both characters' willingness to see things from a new different perspective and a willingness to turn things upside down to make things work.
