The mystery-drama comedy Desperate Housewives ran for eight seasons on ABC from 2004 until 2012, but it continued to have a loyal fandom even after its ending. That's why the series is now getting a spin-off.

The dramedy series was set on Wisteria Lane, a street in the fictional town of Fairview in the fictional Eagle State. Desperate Housewives followed the lives of four women, covering their lives across fifteen years. Deadline reveals that the new offshoot series will be titled Wisteria Lane, and will welcome new residents on the same street.

The new spin-off series is a reimagining of the ABC hit, and is in development at Onyx Collective. The upcoming Wisteria Lane comes from Scandal's Kerry Washington's Simpson Street, and 20th Television. Desperate Housewives creator/executive producer Marc Cherry is not involved in the pitch, but might be involved in the series in the future.

Disney’s Onyx Collective is looking to put a new spin on one of the most famous locales of early 2000s TV.

Onyx is developing Wisteria Lane, a spinoff/reimagining of ABC’s 2004-12 hit Desperate Housewives. The project comes from writer/executive producer Natalie Chaidez (The Flight Attendant, Queen of the South) and EP Kerry Washington. Should it go forward, Wisteria Lane would stream on Hulu alongside Onyx Collective’s other shows.

Like Desperate Housewives, Wisteria Lane will focus on a group of friends living on a seemingly picture-perfect cul de sac whose facade hides a boatload of secrets. Marc Cherry, who created Desperate Housewives, is not currently involved in the new project (though he has spoken about his own spinoff ideas in the past) but sources say he could come aboard in the future.

“Desperate Housewives” is coming back to the neighborhood. An offshoot of the comedy-drama titled “Wisteria Lane” is in development at Onyx Collective, TheWrap has learned.

The series comes from Kerry Washington’s Simpson Street and 20th Television. Natalie Chaidez, known for her work on “The Flight Attendant,” will write the project. Described as a fun, sexy, darkly comedic soap that’s in the same style of “Desperate Housewives,” the show follows a group of five people who live in the picture-perfect cul-de-sac who are sometimes friends and sometimes frenemies. At first glance, all the neighbors of Wisteria Lane look like they’re living perfect lives complete with beautiful homes, families and cars… but those white-picket fences and cheerful Instagram posts hide secrets.

Chaidez will executive produce the series alongside Washington and Pilar Savone via their Simpson Street production company. Stacey Sher, known for “Into the Badlands,” also EPs through her Shiny Penny production company.

A fresh scandal is brewing on one of TV’s most iconic streets.

It’s been almost 30 years since Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton made her U.S. film debut with now-iconic erotic feature “Female Perversions,” the feature that saved her career as the actress now tells IndieWire. And just in time for the film’s anniversary, IndieWire is releasing the 4K trailer for its theatrical re-release.

Swinton stars as a bisexual lawyer who is “on the edge of professional breakthrough, personal breakdown, and sexual awakening,” according to the synopsis. The steamy role is among her best performances. “Female Perversions” was a Sundance Grand Jury nominee upon its festival premiere; it is now deemed a feminist classic.

Clancy Brown, Amy Madigan, Frances Fisher, Marcia Cross, and Paulina Porizkova co-star in the film directed by Susan Streitfeld. The then-first-time filmmaker Streitfeld co-wrote the psychological thriller with Louise Kaplan and Julie Hébert.

The new parody video begins a tracking shot of a neighbourhood that looks identical to the Desperate Housewives area, with a French voiceover saying, “since Bree Van de Kamp had moved to Wisteria Lille, she had secretly developed an addiction to TV series.” The character is then seen with a trademark wine in one hand and a remote control in the other.

Desperate Housewives showrunner Marc Cherry knows that Real Housewives may have been inspired by his ABC show, but he isn’t upset about the Bravo franchise’s success.

The writer-producer revealed to People that he understands why the Real Housewives production team developed the show, which premiered in 2006 in Orange County, California, following the success of Desperate Housewives, which ran for eight seasons from 2004 to 2012.

“They didn’t crib my name, to be fair to them,” Cherry said about the Bravo franchise in a story published Thursday. “They just used the word. Our show came out, and they capitalized on that. And you know what? That’s the capitalistic system.”

The showrunner added that people often confuse the two shows because the Real Housewives franchise “continues to be out there,” producing new series and spinoffs. Cherry lists Tommy Tune as one of the celebrities who accidentally swapped the two series in conversation.

Here’s a fun fact to blow your minds: Yes, technically, Knots Landing is a spin-off from mega-hit Dallas. Gary Ewing is the middle brother of Jr and Bobby Ewing, who made one appearance on the Mother Ship show, played by David Ackroyd before Ted Shackelford took over the role for the next decade-plus.

But the original Kl concept pre-dated Dallas. It was supposed to be an American version of the Swedish series Scenes From a Marriage by Ingemar Bergman. That series didn’t get picked up. But when CBS wanted a Dallas spin-off, Lorimar made one of the characters a Ewing, and we were off to the races! You can watch the entire series from the start right here on Amazon Prime. Here’s why you should definitely do that.

If you don’t know, the show starred Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, and Nicollette Sheridan.

“There’s not a ‘why now’ for that show [to have a reboot],” Eva said about producing with purpose. “I mean, some people do reboots because it’s like, ‘Reboot!’ It’s a good title. But I’ve talked to [‘Desperate Housewives’ creator] Marc Cherry a thousand times and it’s like, we fully mined those characters because we were on for a decade and this was 24 episodes a year … That’s a lot of story that you burn through.”

However, she did add, via Variety, “I’d be the first one to sign up! I miss Gaby.”

The show’s creator once said that one of the women...

Eva Longoria wants to keep busy.

The ex-Desperate Housewives star and now-Hyphenate Media boss decried an industry obsession with talent only working across one show at a time.

“Our business is so slow,” said Longoria at Content London. “That’s the problem with the industry it’s like, ‘Wait you can only do one show’ and I’m like, ‘No you can do more things than one’.”

This notion especially applies to women, Longoria joked, who said: “If you want to get something done, then ask a busy woman.”

Hyphenate recently struck a deal with One Day at a Time co-creator Gloria Calderón Kellett, who was previously signed up with Amazon Studios. Speaking alongside each other today, the pair said Kellett being able to work across multiple projects was crucial in her signing with Hyphenate, and she has 23 projects in various stages of development.

Now, a new generation of fans are watching reruns on Hulu. Now, Marc Cherry, the creator of the series has an idea for a reboot. What does Cherry want to do next?

Desperate Housewives fans got some good news this week after the show’s creator, Marc Cherry, revealed he has “a couple of ideas” for a potential spinoff series set in the 1960s. Speaking to People on Wednesday, November 27, Cherry touched on the possible reboot, saying, “I would probably want to do the idea maybe in an earlier decade. Because the character I miss writing the most is actually Wisteria Lane. That was the most fun playground anyone in the history of television has ever had because we owned the whole street.” Desperate Housewives premiered on ABC in 2004 and ran for eight seasons before wrapping up its run in 2012. The show, which was set on Wisteria Lane in the fictional town of Fairview, starred Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, and Eva Longoria. The series earned seven Primetime Emmy awards throughout its run. Cherry said “about 70,000 people” have asked him to reboot the hit comedy-drama.

Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry reveals his prequel idea for the seminal ABC drama. The topic of rebooting Desperate Housewives resurfaces occasionally, usually around an anniversary or when one of the main cast members has a new project to promote. Cherry has largely maintained that a revival of the popular nighttime soap wouldn't work without the original stars, giving credit to Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, and Teri Hatcher. But his latest pitch sidesteps that entirely.

In new comments to People, Cherry shares his prequel idea for Desperate Housewives and mentions that it would be focused on the fictional street of Wisteria Lane. The prequel idea, which comes as the series is celebrating its 20th anniversary, would dig deeper into the central location that was the hub of so many secrets and scandals during the eight-season run of the original.

During a chat with People, Cherry revealed that he would love to do a Desperate Housewives prequel series set in the '60s.

Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry says there are more than enough ideas for a spinoff of his beloved show — and he has a few ideas on how to make it happen.

“I would probably want to do the idea maybe in an earlier decade,” Cherry — who guesses he’s had “about 70,000 people” ask him to do a reboot of the series — told People. “Because the character I miss writing the most is actually Wisteria Lane.

“Desperate Housewives” creator Marc Cherry has put some thought into a spinoff of the ABC hit set in 1966.

While talking with People in an interview published Wednesday, Cherry admitted mulling over a number of ways he could continue telling stories on Wisteria Lane – which he said he missed writing about as much as any of the characters. One specific idea that’s kept cropping up is a prequel series set in the 1960s.

“I would probably want to do the idea maybe in an earlier decade,” Cherry said. “Because the character I miss writing the most is actually Wisteria Lane. That was the most fun playground anyone in the history of television has ever had, because we owned the whole street. I know that street like the back of my hand. When someone shoots a commercial on that street, I know it instantly, because I know all those houses, I know the geography.

It's time to reopen that box of secrets down in Wisteria Lane as, after 20 years, the show's creator, Marc Cherry is ready to return to the drama-filled cul-de-sac. The Desperate Housewives creator and showrunner recently teased the possibility of a prequel series, revisiting the iconic setting from the long-running ABC hit in an earlier decade. Desperate Housewives became a cultural phenomenon during its eight-season run from 2004 to 2012. Starring Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, and Nicollette Sheridan, the series followed the women of Wisteria Lane as they, well, behaved atrociously to get what they wanted, killing, stealing and doing all sorts in the wake of the mysterious suicide of their neighbor, Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong). And it was delightfully watchable trash.

After 20 years, Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry is ready to return to the Wisteria Lane of another era.

Following the hit ABC series’ milestone anniversary last month, the 2x Emmy-nominated EP and showrunner recently shared his vision for a reboot of Desperate Housewives, which ran for eight seasons from 2004 to 2012.

Eight seasons later, TVLine...

The Desperate Housewives ending wraps up eight seasons of mysteries in the picture-perfect suburban neighborhood, Wisteria Lane, and the ending answers big questions about what happens to main characters Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher), Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), Bree Van de Kamp (Marcia Cross), and Gabrielle "Gaby" Solis (Eva Longoria). Although Mary Alice Young's (Brenda Strong) friends have many happy times together, it was clear that the conclusion would be just as emotional as the rest of the series, as most episodes focus on the intense personal lives of the four main residents of this seemingly peaceful street in the small town of Fairview.

I know it doesn’t feel like 2004 was 20 years ago, but it was, which means many great TV shows just turned 20 years old.

Seriously, 2004 is a sneaky good year for new TV premieres. Most of the titles on this list of good TV shows turning 20 years old in 2024 were broadcast hits. The cable networks had a decent market share in the early 2000s, but we’re still a decade before the streaming industry changed the TV game.

At this point in TV history, we’re still seven years before the Game of Thrones premiere. Remember that, please!

Let’s get the list started with the best show of 2004!

Cheers Sisterly Love Cast – Season 7 Episode 21 Main...

Alyssa Milano has paid tribute to her “Charmed” co-star Shannen Doherty, who died Saturday at age 53.

“It’s no secret that Shannen and I had a complicated relationship, but at its core was someone I deeply respected and was in awe of,” Milano said in a statement provided to Variety. “She was a talented actress, beloved by many and the world is less without her. My condolences to all who loved her.”

Milano and Doherty starred alongside Holly Marie Combs in “Charmed,” in which they played a trio of magical sisters from 1998 until 2001 when Doherty’s character, Prue Halliwell, was killed off in the Season 3 finale. The show would air its eighth and final season in 2006.

As Milano referenced in her statement, she and Doherty had a “complicated” off-screen relationship for years. In December 2023, Combs claimed that Milano got Doherty fired from “Charmed,” to which Milano responded in an Instagram...

Desperate Housewives cast is open to returning for a revival, hinting at a potential comeback with original characters front and center. A potential revival would need to honor the show's rich history and original cast, rather than wiping the slate clean for a reboot. Wisteria Lane and its core characters were essential to the show's success, making a comeback without them seem like a pale imitation.

Desperate Housewives is one of few shows where the cast is still interested in returning following a long and successful run, but it would only work under one condition. The hit drama focused on the lives and loves of a group of women living in the fictional Wisteria Lane. Each of the eight seasons had an overarching mystery that left many questions about what was happening behind closed doors for the cul-de-sac's residents. Despite Desperate Housewives ending after eight seasons in 2012, its cast has...

“Only Murders in the Building” will be getting even more murder-solvers with a meta twist.

The upcoming fourth season of the beloved Hulu series will star Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, and Eva Longoria as the film adaptation versions of Steve Martin’s Charles, Martin Short’s Oliver, and Selena Gomez’s Mabel, respectively.

Levy, Galifianakis, and Longoria were all previously announced as cast members, but there roles are now confirmed. All actors are playing versions of themselves.

Of course, Levy, Galifianakis, and Longoria are no strangers to TV. Levy led Emmy-winning viral series “Schitts Creek,” while Longoria appeared in the iconically camp ABC drama “Desperate Housewives.” Galifianakis starred alongside Ted Danson in the cult HBO comedy “Bored to Death,” another show that combined elements of comedy and murder mystery.

Per the official synopsis for “Only Murders in the Building” Season 4, the main trio’s investigation leads them all the way...

Exclusive: Susan Sarandon (Maybe I Do), William H. Macy (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) and Marcia Cross (You) have signed on to star in Exit Right, a new indie that veteran documentary filmmaker Thomas A. Morgan will direct from his own script for the London-based Garrick Street Productions and Square Zero Films.

Marking Morgan’s narrative debut, the film centers on Jan Randall (Sarandon), whose brain — affected with inoperable cancer — makes her deeply afraid of being trapped inside. Refusing to take medications that would reduce her final days to a hospital bed, she moves into a tent in her backyard. Determined to give her one last gift, her husband John courageously takes her on a trip around the world — on foot, in their own hometown, for what is truly the trip of a lifetime.

Sarandon’s Jan Randall is adventurous, confident and strong-willed. She retired after a successful career as a journalist,...

With any long-running TV show, there are bound to be rumors of behind-the-scenes drama and feuds. Most of the time these are just ploys to get people talking, but sometimes they have some weight behind them. Weve seen these kinds of stories come out of shows such as The Good Wife, where a feud between Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi almost tore the series apart. And, of course, the ever-infamous feud between Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker on, and off, the set of Sex and the City. But theres another series that has its fair share of scandals: Desperate Housewives. The show follows four housewives; Susan (Teri Hatcher), Bree (Marcia Cross), Lynette (Felicity Huffman), and Gaby (Eva Longoria), and the dramas and scandals that fill their day-to-day lives. The inciting incident is the death of their friend and fellow housewife Mary Alice (Brenda Strong), and when they discover that...

Golden Globe nominee, Screen Actors Guild Award winner, People’s Choice Award winner, Bambi Award winner, and Alma Award winner Eva Longoria Parker stars as “Gabrielle Solis” on the ABC mega-hit Desperate Housewives, but the actress’ most important role is the one she plays off screen in her altruistic endeavors within the Hispanic and charitable communities.

On the philanthropic front, she has been honored with countless awards for her achievements. She received the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts’ Horizon Award, presented each year to the individual or organization whose work most advances the presence of Latinos in television and/or film. At the 21st National Hispanic Women’s Conference, the Hispanic Women’s Corporation awarded her the “Latina Visionary and Community Empowerment Award” for her contributions to the Latin community. The conference is the largest gathering of Latinas in the country and provides leadership and professional development to more than 2,000 participants,...
