S.cult eries aired from 2004 to 2012, Desperate Housewives is back on everyone’s lips with a tweet that at the end of the year rekindled fans’ enthusiasm for a possible reboot.
That is to say a photo of the heroines accompanied by the caption “* Desperately * waiting for 2022»(Desperately waiting for 2022). Best wishes for a Happy New Year, of course, but may it also be the announcement of a ninth season coming up?
We will review therefore Susan Mayer, Lynette Scavo, Bree Van De Kamp, Gabrielle Solis and Katherine Mayfair in their homes on Wisteria Lane? Still early to say even if, just a couple of months ago, one of the protagonists Eva Longoria has stated that she would immediately return to playing her Gaby.
Desperate Housewives: where were we
With seven Emmy Awards and the beauty of four Golden Globes, Desperate Housewives it was one of the series that symbolizes the beginning of the millennium, a real cultural phenomenon who knew how to mix comedy, mystery, romance and soap opera. Conquering millions of fans, even as famous as Oprah Winfrey.
In the latest episode of the ABC success, the protagonists’ paths diverge forever. Or at least that’s what Mary Alice’s voiceover suggests.
After Karen’s (Kathryn Joosten) death, the housewives are all together playing one last game of poker, before each one proceeds on its own path.
Susan will be the first to leave the Wisteria Lane neighborhood, shortly thereafter Tom and Julie will move to New York while Gaby and Carlos will opt for California. Bree and Trip, after the wedding, will leave for Louisville where Bree will become president of a Republican party.
The New Year’s tweet
The tweets preceding the photo of the Lord of Wisteria Lane celebrated Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day. Simple celebratory photos, no announcements or allusions to anything else. While New Year’s Eve has all the air of something boiling in the pot.
Why not, the legacy of Desperate Housewives remains one of the most interesting, very ramshackle not only for the choices of the writers, but also for everything that has emerged from the set over the years. Envy, clashes, Nicollette Sheridan brought out of the series with a car accident to her character Lynette for disagreements with showrunner Marc Cherry (he later sued for bullying, physical violence and unfair dismissal; losing her).
And then there is the fashion of numerous revivals and remakes that are crowding the television landscape – Carrie Bradshaw’s very recent returns in And Just Like That… and of Dexter. A trend that suggests that the resumption of adventure does not seem so impossible Bree Van De Kamp and company.
Of course, there are currently no official announcements; in addition, the photo is that of one of the many photographic services made to promote the series, such as those used for the entire ABC account of Desperate. So the possible revival is for now only part of theoretical speculation. We’ll see.
The words of Eva Longoria
Interviewed last October by Radio Times, the beautiful actress who played Gabrielle Solis, expressed her interest in a revival.
“We ended the series with Gaby leaving to start her own business. Therefore I’d like to take up his story and see how things have developed ».
“Where are your children and what are they doing” he then added.
