Eva Longoria is not sure Desperate Housewives would be made today. The actress, who played spoiled housewife Gabrielle Solis in the series from 2004 to 2012, reckons the show's ‘shocking’ content would lead to its cancellation. She said, "I don’t know if we could do the show today. I think we’d get cancelled."
The show, which was made up of Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman and Marcia Cross, featured some wild storylines including Eva's affair with a teenage gardener and her husband getting thrown into the ocean.
Despite the show's popularity, Eva believes the show would be too ‘shocking’ for today's standards. She explained, "I mean, not cancelled on TV but like cancelled in culture because it was so groundbreaking and we said and did so many things that were shocking at the time."
However, if the show were to come back, Eva would be the first one to sign up. She quipped, "I’d be the first one to sign up. I’d probably be the only one."
Marc Cherry, the show's creator, doesn't think they would be able to bring the show back as he believes they have fully mined the characters. Eva said, "I always tell Marc Cherry: 'So, you wouldn’t do a reboot?' He just thinks we have fully mined those characters. He doesn’t know what else there is to say about those characters."
We think they should bring it back, with a cameo from Eva's best friend Victoria Beckham. Desperate Housewives is available to stream on Disney Plus.
