Desperate Housewives brought us all to Wisteria Lane and now Kerry Washingtonis taking us back to the cul-de-sac. The new series is going to bring a new set of women to the infamous street and it promises to have similar vibes to the original run of Desperate Housewives. Called Wisteria Lane, everything we know about the series is, like the street itself, shrouded in secrets. But that doesn't mean that the original cast aren't being asked about the new show. While promoting her new Lifetime movie The Thirteenth Wife: Escaping Polygamy, former star Felicity Huffman was asked about the new series.

Good Morning America host Robin Roberts brought up to Huffman that Washington's production company was behind the series and asked her her thoughts on it. "Isn't that great? "They're going to do Wisteria Lane with women of color, and I am all for it," she said, but has...

With some new housewives moving onto one of TV’s most famous streets, Felicity Huffman is welcoming them to the neighborhood.

The Oscar nominee, who portrayed Lynette Scavo on ABC‘s Desperate Housewives, recently reacted to news of Kerry Washington‘s Onyx Collective offshoot Wisteria Lane, which Deadline exclusively announced last month.

“Isn’t that great? They’re gonna do Wisteria Lane with women of color, and I am all for it,” she said on Good Morning America, before joking: “I am gonna do craft service for it. But I just think it’s wonderful, and I’m a huge fan of Kerry’s.”

Huffman had no suggestions on who should take over her role as Lynette, an overworked stay-at-home mother of five children who longs for the workplace and eventually struggles with both alcoholism and cancer during the show’s eight-season run from 2004 to 2012.

“Oh my god, I have no idea,...

When The View co-host Ana Navarro referred to the project as a “Desperate Housewives remake,” Washington tried to correct her, noting that “it’s inspired” by the popular 2004 series.

“I can’t say too much — it’s very newly announced, it’s in development,” Washington said. “The idea is that it’s new times, there’s new challenges, it’s like — what happens on that cul-de-sac now? It’s really exciting.”

When she was quizzed by Navarro whether Wisteria Lane would feature “new women, old women?,” meaning new or original characters, Washington was coy, shutting...

Guy Ritchie, Jake Gyllenhaal reteam for Road House 2

Prolific director Guy Ritchie has officially signed on to direct Road House 2, Amazon MGM Studios' followup to the Jake Gyllenhaal-led action hit. Ritchie takes over from Doug Liman, who left the franchise acrimoniously when Amazon sent Road House straight to streaming instead of giving it a theatrical release. It will be Ritchie and Gyllenhaal's third collaboration, following Guy Ritchie's The Covenant and the upcoming In the Grey. The script is by Will Beall (Bad Boys: Ride or Die). Road House is based on the 1989 film starring Patrick Swayze, with Gyllenhaal as an ex-UFC fighter named Dalton who takes a job as a bouncer at a dangerous bar and comes into conflict with a local gang.

Whoever said you can't go home again was wrong because we're finally heading home to Wisteria Lane. Well, hopefully. In recent years, fans have been hungry for a Desperate Housewives reboot or revival, clearly yearning for the level of campy drama the ABC series delivered that we're not quite getting anymore. Our collective prayers might have finally been answered.

On April 29, 2025, the news arrived that Wisteria Lane, an offshoot of the beloved primetime soap, was in the works at Onyx Collective from executive producer Kerry Washington and writer-executive producer Natalie Chaidez. As a Disney brand, Onyx Collective shows stream on Hulu, which means the developing Desperate Housewives reboot would have a streaming home on Hulu.

The series hasn't been officially picked up just yet, so if you're a diehard Desperate Housewives fan who doesn't think this sounds like a good idea, there's still plenty more updates to go until the series gets the green light.

The spinoff is now set up for development at Onyx Collective, which means it will stream on Hulu eventually.

Deadline reports that “Wisteria Lane” has been set up for development at Onyx Collective, whose shows stream on Hulu.

It’s no secret that we’ve been lamenting an age of television where fixers delivered shocking twists and suburban housewives blew our collective minds.

We have a pronounced nostalgia for shows of yesteryear, and the constant slate of reboots, revivals, and reimaginings has assuaged us (when they haven’t gotten carried away with them).

But it’s safe to say that when it comes to a reimagining of Desperate Housewives, potential offshoot, Wisteria Lane, is here to sate our thirst for juicy dramedies.

The news, first reported by Deadline, comes as no surprise given the ABC series' 20th anniversary back in 2024. Though not involved in this project, the show's continued fandom thanks to streaming — coupled with Cherry's previous comments about wanting to revisit the universe of Wisteria Lane — makes it the exact sort of property to revisit in an era of new social mores but no less drama.

The mystery-drama comedy Desperate Housewives ran for eight seasons on ABC from 2004 until 2012, but it continued to have a loyal fandom even after its ending. That's why the series is now getting a spin-off.

The dramedy series was set on Wisteria Lane, a street in the fictional town of Fairview in the fictional Eagle State. Desperate Housewives followed the lives of four women, covering their lives across fifteen years. Deadline reveals that the new offshoot series will be titled Wisteria Lane, and will welcome new residents on the same street.

The new spin-off series is a reimagining of the ABC hit, and is in development at Onyx Collective. The upcoming Wisteria Lane comes from Scandal's Kerry Washington's Simpson Street, and 20th Television. Desperate Housewives creator/executive producer Marc Cherry is not involved in the pitch, but might be involved in the series in the future.

Disney’s Onyx Collective is looking to put a new spin on one of the most famous locales of early 2000s TV.

Onyx is developing Wisteria Lane, a spinoff/reimagining of ABC’s 2004-12 hit Desperate Housewives. The project comes from writer/executive producer Natalie Chaidez (The Flight Attendant, Queen of the South) and EP Kerry Washington. Should it go forward, Wisteria Lane would stream on Hulu alongside Onyx Collective’s other shows.

Like Desperate Housewives, Wisteria Lane will focus on a group of friends living on a seemingly picture-perfect cul de sac whose facade hides a boatload of secrets. Marc Cherry, who created Desperate Housewives, is not currently involved in the new project (though he has spoken about his own spinoff ideas in the past) but sources say he could come aboard in the future.

According to Deadline, A24 has been developing the project since 2022. Before her passing, Spector was set to be an executive producer on the biopic and hand-selected Zendaya to play her. Zendaya, who is coming off a strong 2024 thanks to Challengers and Dune: Part Two, has reportedly been wanting to work with Jenkins for some time now and vice versa.

Tharpe, often called the ‘Godmother of Rock and Roll,’ was a gospel singer who broke barriers in the 1930s and ’40s.

The TV adaptation of 12 Monkeys ended up being very different from the Bruce Willis/Brad Pitt time-travel movie it was based on — but it was still just as great. Released in 1995, Terry Gilliam’s initial film version of 12 Monkeys takes place in a post-apocalyptic future ravaged by a deadly disease. Willis plays a convict who’s sent back in time to gather information about the creation of the virus that ended up decimating the human population. When the time travel experiment goes awry, he ends up in the wrong year.

In 2015, 12 Monkeys was reimagined as an underrated TV show for Syfy. The series was created by Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett, and in its first season, it was run by Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles’ Natalie Chaidez. The movie is a loose remake of the classic 1962 French short La Jetée, about a time traveler who gets caught in a stable time loop.

“The Flight Attendant” is not getting another season at Max, Variety has confirmed.

The series, which starred Kaley Cuoco, aired two seasons at the streamer. It originally debuted on Max in 2020, with the second season airing in 2022.

“What started out as an attention-grabbing book cover quickly evolved into an extraordinary flight of a lifetime,” Cuoco said in a statement. “I always envisioned Tfa as a limited series and thanks to an incredible creative team, we were able to deliver two thrilling seasons. Personally, playing Cassie has been a dream come true and I am so grateful for everyone who played a part in bringing this extremely original series to life.”

The show was based on the Chris Bohjalian novel of the same name. It debuted to critical acclaim, with Cuoco and the series earning Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for the first season, while Cuoco was nominated for an Emmy...

The Flight Attendant will not be returning for a third season. The show, which was originally set as a limited series, aired two seasons on Max, with the second season ending in May 2022.

The move follows comments from star and executive producer Kaley Cuoco after the second season that the “plane had landed.” “I just kind of feel like we just ended,” she told People at the time.

The first season, which premiered in November 2020, followed Cuoco’s alcoholic, globe-trotting flight attendant Cassie Bowden who became embroiled in an espionage plot following her affair with a first class passenger, who winds up murdered after their night together.

The second season saw Bowden return with a fresh start in Los Angeles, sober and moonlighting as a CIA asset in her spare time. But when an overseas assignment leads her to inadvertently witness a murder, she becomes entangled in another international intrigue.

Year 2023 will be remembered in Hollywood for various phenomena — the strikes, Barbenheimer — but for Latinos, 2023 was the year that saw a relatively significant number of movies and TV releases from and about their community, in a variety of genres. With actors and writers spending about half of last year unable to promote their projects, the atmosphere at Neuehouse in Hollywood was all the more electric last Friday evening as a who’s who of Latin entertainment, media, sports and politics came together to toast the excellence they saw on the big and small screens.

The event, La Cena Los Angeles, was an expansion of the intimate multi-city La Cena dinner series started last year by culture and impact consultant Ruben Garcia, formerly co-head of cultural business strategy at CAA, to cultivate community among impactful Latino figures across disciplines.

Chris O’Shea has joined the HBO Max drama pilot “More” in a series regular role, Variety has learned exclusively.

O’Shea will star in the pilot along with previously announced lead Christian Serratos and cast members Ana Ortiz, Yvette Monreal, Georgie Flores, Ceci Fernandez, and Gore Abrams.

The show is inspired by the reporting of journalist Amy Chozick. Per the official description, “‘More’ follows the Lorenz family, a tight-knit clan of seemingly flawless Latinas led by mom/mastermind Leona (Ortiz). The Lorenzes are the Vanderbilts or the Astors of the Instagram era. They pulled their way up from debt and obscurity to reality TV stardom and forged a billion-dollar mega-conglomerate not from oil or steel but from something more elusive and modern: Influence.”

O’Shea will star as Timothy Wilde, described as a lesser British aristocrat engaged to Londyn (Serratos), making him one half of ‘Lonothy,’ social media‘s most buzzed-about and closely-watched celebrity couples.

Abrams plays Steve Wilson, the sound tech with a heart of gold, who works on the camera crew that follows Londyn (Serratos) and her family everywhere for their hit reality TV show.

Chozick and Natalie Chaidez serve as executive producers and co-showrunners.

Exclusive: Ana Ortiz is finalizing a deal to lead the cast of the HBO Max drama pilot More, from Amy Chozick, Berlanti Productions, and Warner Bros. Television. Ortiz, who will star alongside Christian Serratos, replaces Veronica Falcón who was originally tapped for the role. The recasting decision was made after the table read, I hear.

The Lorenzes are the Vanderbilts or the Astors of the Instagram era. They pulled their way up from debt and obscurity to reality TV stardom and forged a billion-dollar mega-conglomerate not from oil or steel but from something more elusive and modern: Influence.”

Serratos will star as Londyn Lorenz, described as “an international sex symbol who rose to fame after a political sex scandal put her in global headlines. But...

Inspired by the reporting of journalist Amy Chozick, More follows the Lorenz family, a tight-knit clan of seemingly flawless Latinas led by mom/mastermind Leona. The Lorenzes are the Vanderbilts or the Astors of the Instagram era.

Falcón portrays Leona Lorenz, the matriarch of the Lorenz family media dynasty.

The White Lotus is just wrapping up production of its second season and The Flight Attendant finished its sophomore season in May.

Both shows could potentially come back for third seasons, according to HBO and HBO Max chief Casey Bloys as long as their creative teams are so inclined.

This comes as the HBO series, which was initially designed as a Covid-friendly limited series, and the Kaley Cuoco-fronted HBO Max series both picked up multiple Emmy nominations as part of the network/streamer’s 140 total haul.

The White Lotus received 20 nominations including for Outstanding Limited Series as well as eight supporting actor noms for Murray Bartlett, Jake Lacy, Steve Zahn, Connie Britton, Jennifer Coolidge, Alexandra Daddario, Natasha Rothwell and Sydney Sweeney.

Meanwhile, Cuoco was once again nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series. The series missed out this year in the main comedy, but did pick up...

There is a Planned Parenthood in South L.A. five minutes from USC, where Storm Reid goes to college.

“I have friends who have been in situations where they’ve had to go to Planned Parenthood,” the Euphoria star said in a conversation with Ava DuVernay and Nina Shaw on Thursday afternoon in Ojai. “That right could possibly be taken away from the people I care about and people who don’t have the resources to be able to be a normal young human and make a mistake or whatever the case may be.

“The [possibility] they don’t have the ability to have a choice of what they do to their body is devastating,” Reid continued, beginning to cry onstage. “I hate calling myself an activist because I’m not on the ground doing the work activists do, but I try through my...

Kaley Cuoco seems satisfied with two seasons of The Flight Attendant.

“It’s going to take a lot of thought to make sure if we go back that it’s better than the last two, which is very hard to do,” she told People.com, noting there are no current plans for a third season of the HBO Max dramedy. “There’s definitely interest in doing a third season. I think for me, at this moment, the plane has landed.”

Cuoco said the best thing about the Season 2 finale, which aired Thursday, is that the series “could definitely be done or it’s definitely open to continuing.”

“I think the writers and the team did a really beautiful job in tying it up in a pretty bow,” she said. “But if you had to open the bow, it would be okay.”

Cuoco also says she “could possibly get back in it,...

Sure, the HBO Max series “The Flight Attendant,” about an alcoholic airline employee who ends up becoming a C.I.A. asset, is best known for its impressively out-there story beats, but for its cast, Season 2 hits a lot closer to home than one would think.

“I was going through so much this year, and so a lot of it was real,” said star Kaley Cuoco of her Season 2 performance as the titular flight attendant Cassie Bowden. Speaking to the audience of the comedy’s FYC event on Thursday night at the Television Academy’s Saban Media Center in Los Angeles, she joked that it’s even “almost a little silly” when she receives compliments on her ability to access those darker emotions for the show’s more dramatic scenes.

Although she did not mention it explicitly during the panel, Cuoco was alluding to going through her divorce from equestrian...
