Eva Longoria says she’s “slept with everyone on the street”: does that mean no Desperate Housewives comeback?

Eva Longoria may have been in Paris for fashion, but her words made a much louder statement than her outfit. As she greeted fans outside a luxury hotel in a beige co-ord and her signature effortless charm, Longoria reignited talk about a Desperate Housewives reboot only to pour cold water on the idea herself.

The Desperate Housewives actress looked radiant and relaxed in the French capital, waving to admirers in a cream wool pencil skirt and matching long cardigan layered over a crisp white shirt. Paired with casual white sneakers and tousled waves, Longoria exuded the polished yet approachable elegance she’s known for. But behind the Parisian glow lies a reality that’s less glamorous for fans still clinging to hope for a Desperate Housewives return.

Eva Longoria hints at dead-end for Desperate Housewives reunion

While interacting with fans during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Longoria dropped a revelation that surprised even host Andy Cohen. Responding to a question about what’s keeping a reboot from happening, she placed the blame squarely on series creator Marc Cherry.


“Marc Cherry, our creator. Yeah. He feels like we've exhausted the characters,” she said, dashing the hopes of many who dreamed of revisiting the drama-filled Wisteria Lane. Longoria explained the intensity of the original show’s production 24 episodes a season for eight seasons made it difficult to imagine where the story could go next.

"It's unlike Sex and the City, which was only, like, six episodes, eight episodes a year," she added, joking, "I can't sleep with any more people on that, right? Like I have slept with every single person on the street."

Could Wisteria Lane be closed forever?

Fans weren’t the only ones entertained by Longoria’s cheeky comments. Comedy icon Sandra Bernhard, a fellow guest, asked whether Gabrielle ever explored a same-sex storyline. “No, I didn't... wait, did I?” Longoria laughed. Bernhard playfully pitched a “half season” on that premise, prompting Longoria to reply, “We got to convince Marc Cherry.”

When Cohen asked if Longoria still receives “healthy residual checks” from the show, she didn’t miss a beat. “I do well,” she said with a grin.

Desperate Housewives was once the most-watched TV show globally, inspiring international remakes and even Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise. But with the creator unwilling to revisit the material, even its biggest stars seem ready to move on albeit with a wink.
