This is it!!! Superstar performer Gloria Estefan is set to star on “One Day At A Time.” Netflix announced Monday that the Grammy Award-winning performer will guest-star in an episode of One Day at a Time’s much-anticipated third season. Estefan — who is also the voice behind the series’ theme song, a Cuban-tinged cover of the original comedy’s opener — will play Mirtha, Lydia’s (Rita Moreno) baby sister and arch-nemesis.
Estefan took to Instagram to announce the news.

Netflix’s “One day At A Time” is a reimagining of Norman Lear’s classic sitcom, “One Day at a Time.” The show follows three generations of a Cuban-American family navigating the ups and downs of life. A newly-single mom and military veteran journeys through the triumphs and tribulations that come with raising two strong-willed, mega-millennial children, all the while enlisting the “help” of her old-school mother and her building manager-turned-invaluable confidant. Through a contemporary lens, One Day at a Time offers a glimpse at what life looks like, in good times and bad — and how those around you somehow make it all worthwhile.
“One Day at a Time” stars Justina Machado, Rita Moreno, Stephen Tobolowsky, Todd Grinnell, Isabella Gomez and Marcel Ruiz. Norman Lear executive produces, with Gloria Calderon Kellett and Mike Royce executive producing and co-showrunning. Brent Miller also executive-produces.
