A new Desperate Housewives series set in 1960s Wisteria Lane?
Creator Marc Cherry says he has an idea to bring back the cult series.
The reunion of Gabrielle Solis with her friends, mentioned by Eva Longoria at the start of the year, seem never to happen. So to restart Desperate HousewivesMarc Cherry may have another idea.
20 years after the broadcast of the first episode, the creator of the Fairview saga admits to thinking about relaunching Desperate Housewives. Not so much for a sequel, but rather with a prequel to Wisteria Lane.
“The truth is that I have some ideas for achieving a return“, confides Cherry to People.com before detailing:
“It’s an idea that I would like to take from a previous decade… Because the character that I miss the most while writing, in fact, I realize is Wisteria Lane. It was this street, this playground. That was the most fun, more than anyone in the history of television: we owned the whole street. I know this street like the back of my hand. When someone shoots a commercial on this street, I. know it instantly, because I know all these houses, I know the geography. It was such a fun place to write, and there are times when I think, why not write a new series in Wisteria Lane in 1966?
The project is clearly just an idea thrown on the table for the moment, but it will certainly pique the interest of the industry…
