"Desperate Housewives" creator suggests making a spin-off about the characters' lives in 1996

"Desperate Housewives" creator Marc Cherry says there are more than enough ideas for a spin-off of his favorite show. The snag, Cherry added, is deciding whether "there really needs to be more to say."

"If you do a reboot, you have to have a really good artistic reason to do it", — he said. — "And at some point, I'll sit down with someone and go, 'Okay, let's talk about if there's a good enough "why" to do it'".

"I would probably want to do the idea maybe in an earlier decade", — Cherry said, also he mentioned People magazine that he has received "about 70,000 requests" for a reboot of the series. — "Because the character I miss writing the most is actually Wisteria Lane. That was the most fun playground anyone in the history of television has ever had, because we owned the whole street".

The ABC series "Desperate Housewives" aired for eight seasons from 2004 to 2012 and won several Emmy Awards. The show's cast included Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, and Eva Longoria. The series told stories about the residents of Wisteria Lane, a suburb of Fairview, Idaho.
