Felicity Huffman Reacts To Kerry Washington's ‘Desperate Housewives' Spinoff
Kerry Washington's pending spinoff of the acclaimed Desperate Housewives television series has support from one of the show's leading cast members. Felicity Huffman, who starred in the series as Lynette Scavo, earned a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, and nominations for three Golden Globe Awards for her portrayal. 'Isn't that great? They're gonna do Wisteria Lane with women of color, and I am all for it,' Huffman said Wednesday on Good Morning America. 'I just think it's wonderful, and I'm a huge fan of Kerry's.' She continued to detail when asked who she thinks could fill Scavo's shoes, 'Oh my god, I have no idea. I think a lot of people could do it better than I did, so I can't wait to see it.' Earlier this month, Washington confirmed that her production company, Simpson Street, is reimagining the Desperate Housewives mystery as Wisteria Lane through Onyx Collective after Deadline exclusively reported the news. Sources informed the outlet that there are no current plans for characters from the original series to appear on Wisteria Lane. 'I can't say too much — it's very newly announced, it's in development,' detailed the actress at the time, '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.' According to Deadline, Wisteria Lane was written by Natalie Chaidez, and is 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. The original series was created by Marc Cherry and aired for eight seasons on ABC from October 2004 until May 2012.
