‘There’s been discussions’: Desperate Housewives star teases reboot series
Attention, Desperate Housewives fans! A revival of the show might finally be happening, according to one of the OG stars. Jesse Metcalfe, the actor who played hot gardener John Rowland, said that he has been approached to reprise his iconic role. “I can certainly see that happening and I’d be open to it,” he told The Sun. “There’s definitely been discussions,” he further confirmed This is not the first time that a return has been tantalisingly teased, as back in 2021 the official Desperate Housewives X (formerly Twitter) account entered the new year with a post that left fans wondering whether a 10 year anniversary special was in the works.
Alongside what was believed at the time to be a brand new promo shot was the caption, “*Desperately* waiting for 2022.” Although endless anticipation grew around the reprisal, no new Desperate Housewives content ever arrived.
Metcalfe is not the only member of the show’s alumni to speak out about a potential reunion. Eva Langoria, who played Gabrielle Solis, previously told Radio Times that she would be “the first to sign up” for a film or reboot. “I mean, we ended the series with [Gabrielle] going off to start her own business.
So I’d love to pick up and see like how she’s grown that business,” she explained. “Is she, you know, Kris Jenner? Just fabulous and flying all over the world and managing all of these businesses.” “I don’t know if we could do the show today” The show ran for more than a decade from 2004 to 2012 across eight seasons and followed the lives of Gabrielle Solis, Susan Delfino (Teri Hatcher), Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman) and Bree Van de Kamp (Marcia Cross) on Wisteria Lane.
