Eva Longoria on Possible ‘Desperate Housewives’ Reboot: ‘We Fully Mined Those Characters,’ but ‘I’d Be the First One to Sign Up’

As a film enthusiast with decades of industry experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Eva Longoria‘s perspective on the potential “Desperate Housewives” reboot is both insightful and refreshing. Her emphasis on the importance of purpose and relevance in storytelling is a testament to her maturity as an artist and producer.

Eva Longoria isn’t convinced a “Desperate Housewives” remake is essential, yet if an appealing concept emerges, she’d promptly join the cast.

On Wednesday, Longoria was present at Content London for a discussion about her co-founded production company, Hyphenate Media Group, alongside Karla Pita Loor (chief strategy officer) and Gloria Calderón Kellett (showrunner/producer). The trio spoke about Hyphenate’s collaboration with GloNation Studios, which was founded by Calderón Kellett.

During the conversation about prospective projects, Longoria emphasized their commitment by stating, “We work with intention,” and inquired, “What message are you conveying?” and “Is it timely?” This subsequently sparked a discussion regarding a possible revival of “Desperate Housewives.

She explained that there’s no urgency for that particular show at the moment. In other words, some shows get remade simply because it sounds catchy to say “Reboot,” but in her opinion, they’ve already explored those characters deeply since they were on for a decade and produced 24 episodes per year – which amounts to a significant amount of storyline.

At that moment, Abrego spoke up to add: “For clarity, should ‘Desperate Housewives’ return, we would be keen to take on its production.

Added Longoria, “I’d be the first one to sign up! I miss Gaby.”

Last October, Hyphenate Media Group – a one-year-old media company founded a year prior by Longoria and Abrego with a strategic funding from Banijay Entertainment – acquired a share in GloNation Studios.

Known primarily for her Emmy-winning revamp of the legendary comedy “One Day at a Time,” created by Norman Lear, Calderón Kellett is now working on creating, organizing, and producing content with backing from Hyphenate.

Longoria initially hadn’t planned on attending the session in London, but ultimately chose to take a spontaneous journey there to participate in the Hyphenate Media panel.

Content London takes place Dec. 2-5.
