“Desperate Housewives” fans aren’t interested in returning to Wisteria Lane.
News broke Tuesday that Kerry Washington is making a reboot to the popular comedy-drama series at Onyx Collective (owned by Disney) with “The Flight Attendant” showrunner Natalie Chaidez.
The pair are executive producing the series alongside Pilar Savone and Stacey Sher. Chaidez will also write the project.
The show is currently titled “Wisteria Lane,” after the street from the ABC series that starred Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman and Marcia Cross.
According to Variety, the official logline says the show is “set around a group of 5 very different friends and sometimes frenemies who all live on a picture-perfect cul de sac called ‘Wisteria Lane.’ On the surface, all the Wisteria neighbors are living the dream. Beautiful homes, gorgeous families, shiny SUVs in the driveway — but behind those white picket fences and smiling Insta posts, are secrets.”
Fans of the original series quickly blasted the reboot news on social media.
“Whyyyyyy stop ruining the classics and come up with something original,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“No. Bring back the originals,” another person wrote.
“Oh hell no enough of these remakes my lord and it never hit like the OGs,” a third account wrote.
“Unless marc cherry is behind this, i don’t want it,” someone else said, referring to the original show’s creator.
“If nobody’s cheating with the gardener in episode 1 i’m not watching,” another tweet read about Longoria’s Season 1 storyline with Jesse Metcalfe.
More critics compared the “Desperate Housewives” reboot to Max’s critically panned “Sex and the City” sequel series “And Just Like That.”
“Legit not the original cast with the same premise as the Sex And The City reboot I don’t particularly care tbh,” one fan wrote.
Another tweeted, “the same thing that happened to sex and the city is about to happen to desperate housewives.”
The night before the reboot was announced, Longoria, 50, appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” and was asked who needs the “most convincing” to bring the show back.
“Marc Cherry, our creator. He feels like we’ve exhausted the characters,” said the actress, who played Gabrielle Solis in the series.
“Unlike ‘Sex and the City,’ [which] was only like six episodes, eight episodes a year, we did 24 episodes a year for a decade,” Longoria explained, joking, “I can’t sleep with any more people on that street. I have slept with every person on the street.”
Cherry, 63, created the original series that ran for eight seasons from 2004 to 2012 on ABC.
The show also starred Brenda Strong, Nicollette Sheridan, Dana Delaney, James Denton, Ricardo Antonio Chavira, Doug Savant and the late Kathryn Joosten.
Cherry, who also created the shows “Devious Maids” and “Why Women Kill,” pitched his idea for a prequel series to “Desperate Housewives” last year.
“I would probably want to do the idea maybe in an earlier decade,” he told People. “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. I know that street like the back of my hand.”
Cherry added: “There’s times when I go, ‘You know what? I wonder if I could write Wisteria Lane in like, 1966.’”
