Perhaps this should be said with cautious enthusiasm, but it seems Desperate Housewives fans might soon be returning back to Wisteria Lane. In a report published Tuesday, Variety confirmed that a new iteration of the beloved ABC series is currently in development at Onyx Collective, a content studio owned and operated by Disney Entertainment. The outlet reports that the reboot is currently titled Wisteria Lane, and has Stacey Sher, Pilar Savone, Natalie Chaidez, and actress Kerry Washington attached to executive produce. Chaidez, whose credits include television shows like The Flight Attendant and Heroes, is also slated to write the reboot. Desperate Housewives originally ran on ABC for eight seasons between 2004 and 2012. The show was created by Marc Cherry, and starred Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, Teri Hatcher, and Nicolette Sheridan. It followed the drama swirling behind the perfectly picturesque lives of the residents of Wisteria Lane, from murder, adultery and everything in between.
