Earlier this week, it was revealed that 20th Television and Onyx Collective are developing a new revival of the hit show “Desperate Housewives”, which will be called “Wisteria Lane”.

The show has been described as a fun, sexy, darkly comedic soap/mystery in the vein of “Desperate Housewives”, set among a group of five very different friends and sometimes frenemies who all live on a picture-perfect cul-de-sac called “Wisteria Lane.” On the surface, all the Wisteria neighbours are living the dream: beautiful homes, gorgeous families, shiny SUVS in the driveway. But behind those white-picket fences and smiling Insta posts are secrets.

Natalie Chaidez, who previously worked on the hit HBO series The Flight Attendant, is writing the project. Kerry Washington‘s Simpson Street is creating it. Simpson Street is behind Onyx Collective’s biggest hits, “Reasonable Doubt” and “UnPrisoned,” along with the popular Hulu show “Little Fires Everywhere.”

During a recent appearance on “The View” to promote her new movie, “Shadow Force,” Kerry Washington confirmed that the new spin-off series is happening:

“I can’t say too much — it’s very newly announced, it’s in development.  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.”

“The View” hosts tried to get her to give them more information, such as asking if the new show would feature “new women, old women?,” Washington quickly shut down the topic by saying that she couldn’t say anything more.

The project is still in the early stages of development, so very little is known about it, such as when filming might begin, when it could be released, or who could star in it.

Should the “Wisteria Lane” project be created, it’s likely that it will be released on ABC, Hulu, and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States and on Disney+ internationally.   The previous seasons of “Desperate Housewives” are available to stream on Hulu, and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States and on Disney+ in many countries around the world.
