Devious Butlers

Devious Butlers is an American fanfiction dramedy-mystery series created, written and produced by Devious Peep, and based on the regular ensemble of users from the Desperate Housewives, Once Upon a Time, and Devious Maids Wikis.

The main setting of the show is Maidswik, a town in the fictional world of 'Wikia'. The show follows the lives of a group of butlers as seen through the eyes of a dead friend who was poisoned in the very first episode. The storyline covers the group's social and domestic struggles, while facing the secrets, crimes and mysteries hidden behind the doors of their seemingly tranquil and ordinary suburban town.

The show featured an ensemble cast, headed by Renato Nolan, Benjamin Gold, Joshua Mills, and Joseph White. The show is narrated by the deceased Joey Davis, whose murder at the beginning of the show acted as the catalyst for the events which followed. Davis appears as narrator in most episodes to date, chronicling the lives of four butlers and trying to understand what drives them to such devious acts.

The fan-fiction as a whole is heavily based on the Lifetime comedy-drama series Devious Maids, which aired it's first season from June to September, 2013. The entire premise (a dead servant and its friends hiding what they know while another servant arrives to uncover the truth) is entirely borrowed from the show, and all credit goes to Lifetime, Touchstone and Cherry Productions. While the premise, structure, some storylines, themes and tone of the series is taken from Maids, some stories are completely original, as are the characters and locales.

One of the obvious parallels between Maids and Butlers is the similarities between the core characters of the series. Secretive, mysterious, and determined Renato Nolan mirrors Marisol Suarez. Sweet, kind, down-to-earth Benjamin Gold reflects Rosie Falta. Strict, controlling Joshua Mills represents Zoila Diaz. Smart, vindictive, determined Joseph White echoes Carmen Luna. Finally, the mysterious, spiteful, lying Joey Davis is analogous to Flora Hernandez.

The fan-fiction as a whole is intended to pay homage to Devious Maids, as well as explore the universal theme of deviousness with a different group of characters.
