“I have a couple ideas”: Desperate Housewives creator breaks silence on potential reboot
The creator of Desperate Housewives has opened up about a potential return to Wisteria Lane. In October 2004, TV viewers were forever changed when the hit comedy-drama debuted on ABC.
Set in the fictional town of Fairview, the series follows the outrageous and scandalous lives of four suburban friends – Susan Mayer (Terri Hatcher), Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), Bree Van de Kamp (Marcia Cross), and Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria) – through the eyes of their deceased neighbour Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong), who narrates each episode from beyond the grave.
Throughout its eight-season run, the show delivered an array of jaw-dropping and unhinged moments including, but not limited to, a deadly tornado that ravaged Wisteria Lane, a Christmas plane crash, Lynette catfishing her son, Mrs McCulskey (Kathryn Joosten) keeping her dead husband in a freezer, Bree’s son Andrew (Shawn Pyfrom) seducing her recovering sex addict boyfriend and Edie Britt’s (Nicollete Sheridan) tragic death by electrocution.
While Desperate Housewives ended in May 2012, the show has maintained a dedicated fanbase, with many calling for a reboot or continuation of the series.
