Eva Longoria Talks Potential ‘Desperate Housewives’ Reboot On ‘WWHL’: “I Can’t Sleep With Any More People On That Street”

Actress Eva Longoria believes that convincing the creator of Desperate Housewives, to reboot the show would be a tough task. Longoria, who was a prominent cast member throughout the eight seasons of the series, recently shared her views on the possibility of a reboot during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Monday night.

Although Longoria herself would eagerly jump at the chance for a Desperate Housewives revival, she hinted that not everyone involved may feel the same way about revisiting Wisteria Lane. In a conversation with host Andy Cohen, she mentioned that Marc Cherry, the show’s creator, believes that the characters have been adequately explored.

In comparison to shows like Sex and the City, which had shorter seasons with fewer episodes, Desperate Housewives went through 24 episodes annually for a decade. Longoria highlighted this as a factor that might contribute to Cherry’s hesitation towards a reboot.

“I can’t sleep with any more people on the street,” she joked, referring to her iconic character. “I have slept with every single person on the street, as did Nicollette Sheridan.”

Cherry told People in November 2024 that he’s had “a couple of ideas” for a potential Desperate Housewives reboot, though they likely wouldn’t include the original cast.

“I would probably want to do the idea maybe in an earlier decade,” he told the outlet. “Because the character I miss writing the most is actually Wisteria Lane. That was the most fun playground anyone in the history of television has ever had, because we owned the whole street. I know that street like the back of my hand.”

“When someone shoots a commercial on that street, I know it instantly, because I know all those houses, I know the geography,” he continued. “It was such a fun place to write for. And there’s times when I go, ‘You know what? I wonder if I could write Wisteria Lane in, like, 1966.’”

Cherry, however, wants to make sure “there is still stuff that needs to be said” before committing to a reboot.

“If you do a reboot, you have to have a really good artistic reason to do it,” he explained. “And at some point, I’ll sit down with someone and go, ‘Okay, let’s talk about if there’s a good enough ‘why’ to do it.’”

Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
