A return to Wisteria Lane is in order after it was announced that a reimagined Desperate Housewives was in the works. It’s not so surprising, as there have been discussions of a new series for years. Some of the original Desperate Housewives cast have even given their thoughts on possibly doing a reboot, including Eva Longoria, who shared a hilarious take on reprising her role. Now, Kyle MacLachlan is revealing he would be down for a reboot, but he has one condition.
The Twin Peaks actor joined the ABC dramedy as Orson Hodge during the second season. Now that Desperate Housewives is seemingly making a comeback and the cast keeps getting asked about it, MacLachlan expressed his interest in reprising his role while speaking with People. He also made a good point when it came to the Wisteria Lane set, saying:
That’d be fun. I mean, Wisteria Lane still exists on the Universal back lot. It’s part of the tour!
Desperate Housewives has aged surprisingly well since its premiere in 2004, and amid all of the crazy storylines, beloved characters coming back in a new way would not be so surprising if that were the case for a potential reboot. Plus, despite a heated feud behind the scenes, Desperate Housewives managed to keep viewers locked in for a long time, and the reboot could potentially do the same.
Even though a reimagining of Desperate Housewives is in the works, it’s unknown if a reboot with the original cast will ever happen. While some of the cast have expressed interest, others, like Teri Hatcher, aren’t so on board. It would be hard to do one with just a few cast members and not everyone, but things could change. At the very least, all eight seasons of Desperate Housewives are streaming with a Hulu subscription, so at least we can return to Wisteria Lane that way.
