Kerry Washington Confirms ‘Wisteria Lane’, Says ‘Desperate Housewives’ Offshoot Will Tackle “New Challenges”
During an appearance on The View, Kerry Washington confirmed Deadline's exclusive report about Wisteria Lane, a reimagining of Desperate Housewives.
As Deadline reported, Wisteria Lane, written by Natalie Chaidez ( The Flight Attendant), is described as a fun, sexy, darkly comedic soap/mystery in the vein of Desperate Housewives, set among a group of five very different friends and sometimes frenemies who all live on a picture-perfect cul de sac called “Wisteria Lane.” On the surface, all the Wisteria neighbors are living the dream: beautiful homes, gorgeous families, shiny SUVs in the driveway. Chaidez executive produces Wisteria Lane alongside Washington and Pilar Savone via their Simpson Street as well as Stacey Sher via Shiny Penny. Desperate Housewives creator/executive producer Marc Cherry was not part of the pitch but is aware of the project and could be involved in it in some capacity, sources said.
