What’s the buzz on the new Desperate Housewives spinoff?
Fans, get ready—it’s been over two decades, but the drama is back.
PEOPLE just confirmed a fresh series called Wisteria Lane, produced by Kerry Washington’s team and 20th Television.
This isn’t a straight reboot; it’s a fun, sexy mix of comedy and mystery centered on five friends (and occasional foes) in a seemingly perfect cul-de-sac.
Under the surface, though, lurk secrets that could shatter that polished facade.
How does this new show capture the original’s magic?
Think glossy homes, picture-perfect families, and shiny cars in the driveway, but with a twist of hidden chaos.
The logline teases a world where Insta-worthy lives hide dark undercurrents, much like the classic series.
Natalie Chaidez is penning it and executive producing alongside big names like Washington and Stacey Sher.
It’s set to deliver that signature blend of humor, suspense, and scandal that hooked us all before.
What about the original Desperate Housewives—any nods?
The show ran from 2004 to 2012, dishing out eight seasons of suburban mayhem on ABC.
Stars like Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, and Teri Hatcher brought the dysfunction to life, with Brenda Strong narrating as the ghostly Mary Alice Young.
It kicked off with a suicide mystery and unraveled the messy lives on that infamous street—think affairs, secrets, and pure entertainment.
Now, this spinoff pays homage without fully revisiting the past.
Will any old favorites make a comeback?
It’s still up in the air, but Eva Longoria is game with a cheeky condition: no more on-street hookups for her character Gabrielle.
She joked about having “slept with every person on the street” during her Watch What Happens Live chat, while creator Marc Cherry is lukewarm, saying he’d rather explore earlier eras like the 1960s.
Longoria thinks Gabby would be an influencer today, but Cherry feels the original characters might be played out. Either way, it’s stirring excitement.
Why should you tune in for this revival?
The series streams on Hulu, where you can binge the originals for a refresher.
With its promise of intrigue and laughs, it’s a nod to what made the first run iconic.
Whether it’s new faces or subtle Easter eggs, this spinoff aims to recapture that addictive vibe, proving suburban life is never dull.
