It has been over a decade since the gates of Wisteria Lane closed, but the drama and mystery surrounding the lives of the Desperate Housewives cast continue to captivate a new generation of fans. As of late 2025, the four core actresses—Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, and Marcia Cross—have all experienced significant career shifts, public scrutiny, and personal triumphs that are just as compelling as the storylines of Gabrielle Solis, Susan Mayer, Lynette Scavo, and Bree Van de Kamp.

Felicity Huffman has made a significant return to television in 2025 following her 2019 involvement in the "Operation Varsity Blues" college admissions scandal. The actress is starring in the new FOX series, Doc, a medical drama based on the Italian series Doc – Nelle Tue Mani.

Additionally, she has taken on a new role in the Lifetime movie, The Thirteenth Wife: Escaping Polygamy, where she plays a woman leaving a cult.

Teri Hatcher: Podcasting and Reflecting on the Wisteria Lane Legacy

Teri Hatcher, who played the perpetually unlucky-in-love Susan Mayer, has embraced the world of audio. In September 2025, she launched a new podcast with her daughter, Emerson Tenney, titled “Desperately Devoted.” The podcast sees the duo discussing the impact of the show, their personal lives, and reflecting on the journey of the Desperate Housewives cast. Hatcher has also been open about the effects of aging in the entertainment industry, urging celebrities to be more honest about plastic surgery.

Marcia Cross: Health Advocacy and Brief Return as Bree

Marcia Cross, the iconic Bree Van de Kamp, has become a prominent advocate for health awareness following her battle with anal cancer, which she has openly discussed to destigmatize the disease. While her focus has been on personal life and advocacy, the actress made a notable appearance in 2025, reprising her role as Bree for a special promotional video for Series Mania, a major French television festival, sparking new buzz about a potential Desperate Housewives revival.

The Men of Wisteria Lane: Current Projects and Reboot Buzz

The husbands and love interests of the housewives have also carved out successful careers, with many of them finding a niche in popular television and film.

James Denton (Mike Delfino): The Hallmark King

Known affectionately as the "Hallmark King," James Denton continues his successful tenure with the Hallmark Channel. In late 2025, he is set to star in a new holiday movie for the network’s "Countdown to Christmas" lineup, filming in his hometown of Nashville. Denton remains a fan-favorite, frequently appearing at pop culture conventions, including the Tampa Bay Comic & Pop Culture Convention (TBCC) in 2025.

Ricardo Antonio Chavira (Carlos Solis): Joining the Bosch Universe

Ricardo Antonio Chavira has landed a major recurring role in the burgeoning Bosch universe. The actor has joined the cast of the new, not-yet-titled spin-off series for Amazon Prime Video, expanding on the popular detective drama, a significant project for 2025. Chavira’s recent notable work also includes playing Abraham Quintanilla in *Selena: The Series*.

Kyle MacLachlan (Orson Hodge): The Prolific Character Actor

The actor who played Bree’s second husband, Kyle MacLachlan, has maintained a highly prolific career, appearing in major film and television projects. In 2025, he has several films slated for release, including the thriller *THE LOWDOWN* and the comedy *OVERCOMPENSATING*. He is also part of the cast for the upcoming thriller *Echo Valley* alongside Sydney Sweeney and Julianne Moore. MacLachlan has also hinted at the possibility of reprising his role as Orson Hodge if a Desperate Housewives reboot were to happen.

Doug Savant (Tom Scavo) and Nicollette Sheridan (Edie Britt)

Doug Savant, who played Tom Scavo, Lynette's husband, has maintained a steady career in television, with his most recent work including a guest appearance on the series *Fantasy Island* in 2021. Savant is notably married to his former Melrose Place co-star, Laura Leighton, a long-standing Hollywood couple. Nicollette Sheridan, known for her controversial exit and subsequent lawsuit, has kept a lower profile but remains a constant topic of discussion among fans, with her iconic role as Edie Britt being celebrated across fan forums.

The Undying Buzz: Is a Desperate Housewives Reboot Happening?

The constant stream of fresh news about the actors’ current projects, coupled with the 20th anniversary of the show’s premiere, has reignited the conversation about a full-scale Desperate Housewives reunion or reboot. While no official announcement has been made, the actors themselves have fueled the fire.

Felicity Huffman has publicly spoken about the possibility of a new series, and Marcia Cross's brief reprisal of Bree Van de Kamp for the Series Mania promo in 2025 was a major event that sent fans into a frenzy. The show’s creator, Marc Cherry, has remained tight-lipped, but the success of other nostalgic revivals suggests that the appetite for more Wisteria Lane drama is stronger than ever. The actors’ current visibility in 2025 across major networks, streaming platforms, and podcasts keeps the show's legacy alive and makes a potential *Desperate Housewives* reboot a very real possibility in the near future.
