Kyiv • UNN
Mark Cherry is considering the idea of a Desperate Housewives prequel set in 1966. The creator of the series is ready to return to the project if he finds good enough reasons to restart.
The creator of Desperate Housewives, Mark Cherry, is open to exploring another era on Wisteria Lane - the fictional street where the characters of this American series live, writes UNN with reference to Variety.

In a recent interview with People magazine, Cherry presented his idea that led to the popular ABC series starring Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria.
"I would probably like to bring this idea to life in an earlier decade," Cherry told the publication. "Because the character I miss the most is actually Wisteria Lane. It was the most fun playground anyone had ever had in the history of television because we owned the whole street. I know this street like the back of my hand. When someone shoots an advertisement on this street, I immediately understand it, because I know all these houses, I know the geography. It was such a fun place to write for. And there were moments when I thought, "You know what? I wonder if I can write Wisteria Lane sometime in 1966.
Cherry, who also created the TV series "Devious Maids" and "Why Women Kill," estimated that "about 70 000 people" asked him about the relaunch of "Desperate Housewives." He added, "The truth is, I have a couple of ideas on how to do it.
However, the creator of Desperate Housewives will only deal with the relaunch if "there is still something to say." "If you're doing a restart, you have to have a really good artistic reason for it," he explained. "And at some point I sit down with someone and say, 'OK, let's discuss if there's a good enough reason to do this.
Addition
Desperate Housewives tells the story of four women-Susan Mayer (Hatcher), Lynette Scavo (Huffman), Bree Van de Kamp (Cross) and Gabrielle Solis (Longoria)-who uncover dark secrets in their seemingly idyllic suburban neighborhood after their friend and neighbor Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) committed suicide. This drama series, which aired from 2004 to 2012 on ABC, won seven Emmy Awards and three Golden Globes.
