Ugly Betty fans were thrilled last month when it was announced that the hit comedy-drama was finally coming to streaming thanks to Disney Star.
The series, which is based on a Columbian telenovela, was a runaway hit when it first aired back in 2006. Starring America Ferrera, the show told the story of a bright-eyed and bushy-eyebrowed young woman with dreams of making it in the fashion industry. Sadly, after four seasons the series was cancelled in 2010.
