Eva Longoria has weighed in on the chance to have a Desperate Housewives sequel.
The actress opened up on the possibility of going back to Wisteria Lane, the fictional neighbourhood the popular ABC mystery dramedy was set in.
Having premiered in 2004, Desperate Housewives said goodbye to its protagonists – including Longoria's Gabrielle Solis – in 2012 after eight seasons of emotional ups and downs with a side of murder.

Sadly, it looks like a revival is not on the cards at the moment. Longoria, however, sounds like she'd be up for reprising the role that launched her career (and earned her a Golden Globe nod in 2006).
"I'd be the first to sign up. I'm already on Wisteria Lane. I'd be like, 'Sign me up,'" the actress said in an interview with Fox5.
She then explained that the show's creator feels like he has left Gabrielle and her friends in a good place.
"Marc Cherry, our creator... he feels like he's fully explored those characters, he was like 'Why now? What would they be doing?'
"Plus, I'm a 100 years old, so I don't know if anybody cares," Longoria joked.

This isn't the first time Longoria has expressed her interest in being in Gabrielle's stilettos again.
In 2021, the actress said she would love to see where her character has ended up now after launching her business at the end of the series.
Her co-star Teri Hatcher, known for playing Susan Mayer on the show, also said she would consider reprising the role, though she didn't think a revival was likely.
"I love the fans of the show so much, and they don't seem to be done with those characters. I think [a movie] would be great for them," she said back in 2013.
"If a script ever came across my lap, I would read it, hoping that it would work out, but I don't really see that happening."
