‘Desperate Housewives’ Reboot Would Likely Be Set in ‘Earlier Decade’ Such as 1966, Says Creator: ‘The Character I Miss Writing the Most Is Actually Wisteria Lane’


'Desperate Housewives' creator Marc Cherry is open to exploring a different era of Wisteria Lane.

In a recent interview with People magazine, Cherry pitched his idea for a prequel to the hit ABC series starring Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria. Cherry, who also created the series “Devious Maids” and “Why Women Kill,” estimated that “about 70,000 people” have asked him about a “Desperate Housewives” reboot. “Desperate Housewives” follows four women — Susan Mayer (Hatcher), Lynette Scavo (Huffman), Bree Van de Kamp (Cross) and Gabrielle Solis (Longoria) — who uncover dark secrets in their seemingly idyllic suburban neighborhood after their friend and neighbor, Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong), dies by suicide.
