Marc Cherry Plans 'Desperate Housewives' Prequel

Marc Cherry, the creator of 'Desperate Housewives,' is considering a reboot set in the 1960s, expressing nostalgia for the show's iconic setting of Wisteria Lane. During a recent interview, he revealed that he misses writing for the street and has been contemplating how to explore its stories from an earlier decade. He mentioned that while fans have frequently asked for a revival, any new project would need a strong artistic justification. Cherry acknowledged that the characters from the original series would not be born yet if set in 1966, suggesting a different narrative focus. He also expressed confidence in his growth as a storyteller since the show's original run from 2004 to 2012. Despite the enthusiasm, Cherry remains cautious about moving forward without a compelling reason to revisit the beloved series.
