Disney will retool the gay-fave series The Golden Girls for the Latin American and U.S. Hispanic markets. The series, now titled Los Anos Dorados, will also be set in Miami, though filming will take place in Caracas, Venezuela.

The new version will maintain the spirit of the original series, but will focus on four Latina heroines who hail from three different countries and become roommates due to their current economic difficulties and personal problems.

The Golden Girls ran on NBC for seven seasons from 1985 to 1992 and received countless accolades, including Emmys for best comedy series and for each of its stars: Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty.

The U.S. series continues to be popular in syndication today and has been remade in other foreign countries, including Greece and Russia.
