Felicity Huffman Shares Her Thoughts On 'Desperate Housewives' Reboot
Felicity Huffman took a stroll down Wisteria Lane — at least in spirit — by weighing in on the upcoming 'Desperate Housewives' reboot. Long before Bravo's housewives were flipping tables and stealing spotlights, Huffman and her band of perfectly imperfect suburbanites hit the ground running in 2004 on ABC, redefining what it meant to live behind a white picket fence. Now, years later, 'Scandal' star Kerry Washington will executive produce an upcoming revival, 'Wisteria Lane.' Washington's involvement sparked discussion on Wednesday's episode of 'Good Morning America' when Huffman was asked to share her thoughts. 'Can I ask you about 'Desperate Housewives?'' co-host Robin Roberts eagerly asked, noting the buzz surrounding the new take on the beloved drama. 'Isn't that great,' Huffman said almost instantaneously. 'They're going to do Wisteria Lane with women of color — and I am all for it.' After voicing her support, Huffman joked that she 'will be doing craft services for the project.' In case there were still any doubts about her enthusiasm, Huffman doubled down with a heartfelt nod to Washington. 'I just think it's wonderful, and I'm a huge fan of Kerry's,' she added. Co-host Michael Strahan followed up, asking who she thought might take her former role. 'Oh my God, I have no idea. I think a lot of people could do it better than I did,' Huffman said modestly. 'I can't wait to see it.'

Scandal star Bellamy Young DEMANDS the show returns as she weighs in on current political climate
Scandal star Bellamy Young is calling for the popular political thriller to return amid the current turbulent political backdrop – and she's even revealed the cast would leap at reprising their characters. The 55-year-old actress famously played Melody 'Mellie' Grant in the series, the no-nonsense powerhouse who started as the First Lady of the United States before running as a Republican presidential candidate and going on to become the first female President of the United States. Speaking exclusively to at the New York Women in Communications Matrix Awards, where she was an honoree, Bellamy proclaimed that she is 'through' with men leading the country. On the red carpet at the Ziegfeld Ballroom, she also revealed that the cast of Scandal have fond memories of the series and would love the opportunity to take the story further. Bellamy said: 'So our sweet Kate Burton was president for like a week when we shot this, but yes, I was the first elected. When is it going to happen [in reality]? I'm so through with this!' She continued: 'We're well past - if you look at the state of the world - we're well overdue for any sort of diversion from our historic path. 'But even being in the care of the women tonight of New York WICI (Women in Communications Inc.) as they plan for this event, we are given to a certain degree of thoughtfulness and attention to detail that I think would be really strategically important in running a thorough formation.' There has never been a female President of the United States, although Kamala Harris fought for the top job as the Democrat nominee in the 2024 Election. Hillary Clinton also ran against Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential Election. Scandal ran on ABC from 2012 to 2018 across seven seasons. Created by Shonda Rhimes, the political thriller is set Washington, D.C., and focuses on Olivia Pope's (Kerry Washington) crisis management firm and its staff, as well as staff at the White House and surrounding political scene. The cast starred Tony Goldwyn as Fitzgerald Grant III, President of the United States, Darby Stanchfield as Abby Whelan, Katie Lowes as Quinn Perkins, Jeff Perry as Cyrus Beene, Joshua Malina as David Rosen, and Scott Foley as Jake Ballard. When asked whether there have been conversations about Scandal returning to television screens, Bellamy expressed her desire to revisit the show. She added: 'So I wish that that were implemented. All the actors would show up anywhere tonight and start filming. We would love it. 'Shonda has always been clear that she knew where the story started and she knew where the story ended, but never say never. 'She also didn't know where the future was going when she started and finished that story, so who's to say? 'Maybe there's an itch she might be looking to scratch. I can only put it into the ether.' Besides Bellamy, this year's Matrix honorees also included Kristen Welker, Moderator of NBC's Meet the Press; Leslie Berland, EVP, Chief Marketing Officer, Verizon; Nkechi Okoro Carroll, writer, showrunner, producer; and Dustee Jenkins, Chief Public Affairs Officer at Spotify. Teneshia Jackson Warner, Founder and CEO of Egami Group was also honored, as well as Lucy Kaylin, Editorial Director of Hearst Magazines. This year's theme is Leading Luminaries and the honorees are luminaries who are lighting the path of success and influencing the future. Speaking to on the red carpet, Kristen Welker said that it was 'an incredible honor' to be recognized by the New York Women in Communications. 'Several of my colleagues at NBC News have won this award; Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb and the great Andrea Mitchell, who's here tonight presenting me with my award,' she enthused. 'So it's a pinch me moment. I don't know how I'm going to get through my remarks after Andrea speaks. It really is incredibly humbling, so I'm excited.' 'If I could go back and talk to my teenage self, I would say, always believe in yourself,' Kristen, 48, continued. 'People are going to doubt you all along the way, when you're starting, when you're in the middle of your career, even when you get your dream job, and the one thing that gets you through all of those trials and tribulations is to believe in yourself and to surround yourself by a loving group of friends and family and to have a great team. 'It's all about community.' The glitzy event was hosted by none other than media personality, podcaster, and attorney, Rachel Lindsay, who made history as the first Black female lead of The Bachelorette. 'It's one of those events where I feel like the energy in the room is so infectious,' she told 'It's just such an honor to be here, to be standing before people who are just here to support women, not just who are currently doing it, but investing in the people that are going to do it. 'So that's just really cool. I'm just like, I'm just happy to be invited.'

Saucy 2010s Political Thriller Returns to Netflix After Five-Year Hiatus
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After five years off the platform, a saucy political thriller is making a surprise comeback to Netflix. Set against the backdrop of Washington, D.C., the series follows a high-powered fixer entangled in scandal, secrets, and a dangerously complicated relationship with the president. Scandal, known for its rapid pacing, melodramatic turns, and signature monologues, originally aired in the 2010s and quickly became a defining entry in the primetime drama landscape. Created by one of TV's most prolific showrunners, it will return in full to Netflix U.S. on June 17, giving new and returning viewers a chance to binge every episode. Originally airing from 2012 to 2018, Scandal was headlined by Kerry Washington, who led a cast that included Henry Ian Cusick, Columbus Short, Darby Stanchfield, Katie Lowes, and Guillermo Díaz. With 124 episodes, it built a cult following thanks to its blend of political intrigue and soapy, high-stakes drama. The central character, a former White House Communications Director turned crisis manager, navigates the darkest corners of Beltway power while managing a deeply fraught personal life. Scandal, the fast-paced political thriller created by Shonda Rhimes, returns to Netflix on June 17 after a five-year hiatus. Scandal, the fast-paced political thriller created by Shonda Rhimes, returns to Netflix on June 17 after a five-year hiatus. AP Photo Produced by Shondaland and created by Shonda Rhimes, the show helped define Rhimes' signature style: fast dialogue, explosive twists, and emotionally charged character arcs. It quickly earned praise from critics and audiences alike, winning multiple awards and consistently ranking as one of Rhimes' most beloved productions Why Did Scandal Leave Netflix? Scandal first joined Netflix in 2014 with its initial three seasons, followed by annual additions through 2018. When its license expired in May 2020, it was removed from the streamer. Its reappearance this summer bucks a 2025 trend that has seen fewer older licensed titles returning to Netflix U.S. Though its new licensing window hasn't been disclosed, similar deals have ranged from one to three years. Scandal's availability on Hulu, where it continues to stream under a separate agreement, will remain unaffected. What Happens Next? The return of Scandal isn't the only headline for Shonda Rhimes' empire. Grey's Anatomy, now entering its 21st season, is also set to arrive on Netflix in June. Meanwhile, Bridgerton continues its dominance, with Season 4 expected in 2026 and additional installments on the way. Viewers eager for strategy and a touch of seduction will find everything waiting when Scandal lands back on Netflix on June 17. Its comeback offers a fresh chance to revisit the chaos—a glass of red wine in hand.
