I’m curious to see Kathryn as an adult cos I remember hating her on my first watch aged 12
Desperate Housewives

They/them, he/him
That’s my favourite Bree moment. It’s not the fact he accused her of incest- it’s the fact he did it in a shopping centre!
Never gonna happen. The ladies would do it but Cherry would rather die than put himself through it.
Ye
Yeah i could kind of imagine it like the Dynasty remake or something.
Wow Teri Hatchers acting in this show is absolutely terrible!
While I would watch seasons upon seasons of Desperate Housewives, I think Eva is right - what else is there to say about these characters. And the show ended in such a bittersweet note with them splitting apart, it would be hard to come up with a story that would bring them back to the lane.
They'd run out of things to say well before the end. The Tom/Lynette split alone was evidence enough of that, never mind the godawful storyline about killing Gabrielle's stepdad that played out like a six-year-old had written it. Not to mention that out of the four leading ladies, only Eva was bringing anything like her best work in those last couple of seasons - everyone else was well into 'punching the clock' territory by then.
Let it lie.
Honestly for me, I’d say the show never recovered from Edie’s death and as y’all have said, they told a very full story. A reunion with the four I just couldn’t see it working. If anything, they’d have to do a full reboot.
I don't think a reboot is ever off the cards for any show that is as loved and storied as Desperate Housewives. I'd love to see it return, ideally as a limited series, if the writers feel they have a good concept.
We have to remember that the television landscape has changed drastically since this left the air. If they can settle on a good central storyline plus one individual personal story for each of the main 4, that will fill a 6 - 10 episode miniseries easily. Gone are 20+ episode seasons.

I agree!
Yes... it was a beautiful summer morning when MJ Delfino, and his wife, Juanita Delfino, arrived in Wisteria Lane ahead of their moving truck.
It's interesting, it really could go either way:
- A reboot on ABC: 18 - 20 episodes with a whole new cast, some connections to the old show, cameos from the OG cast, etc.
- A limited-series revival on Disney+: 6 - 10 episodes with the original cast, reuniting them over some new mystery.
I actually don't know what the odds are here. Part of me thinks that Disney would like the idea of getting a whole new series out of it, which can run for another 5+ seasons and keep making them money on both ABC/Disney+. But a revival with the originals is a lot flashier, and they could see it as their way to get a buzzy streaming series that isn't about superheroes and/or space.
