Eva Longoria knows that the majority of her fans know her thanks to the eight seasons she played Gabrielle Solis on Desperate Housewives. And then there are those who are watching it again -- or for the first time -- on Hulu and Disney+.
"Everybody's re-watching it," she told Jesse Tyler Ferguson on his Dinner's On Me podcast. "It was like number two the other day on the streaming." Even so, don't expect her to tune in anytime soon to see what the fuss was all about.
'I'm Fine, I Made It'
"I keep getting notifications, like, 'Do you want to watch Housewives?' No, I don't," she said. "I'm fine, I made it."
After telling Ferguson that she hadn't re-watched it, she admitted that she'd actually never watched it. She then claimed that, even though she knew that the current trend is to reboot popular shows from the '90s and '00s, it's never going to happen for Desperate Housewives.

Longoria explained how much longer seasons used to be, with Desperate Housewives averaging 17-24 episodes per year. "There's none of this six to eight bulls--t," she continued. "So Marc's like, 'We fully mined the characters.'"
She then joked that Gabrielle couldn't "sleep with one more person on the street. Like, I literally slept with everybody."
When Desperate Housewives premiered in 2004, the primetime soap opera quickly catapulted Longoria to fame. The series also starred Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, and Teri Hatcher. Huffman won an Emmy Award in 2005 for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. Kathryn Joosten, who portrayed nosy neighbor Karen McCluskey, won for Outstanding Guest Actress in both 2005 and 2008.
A New Chapter: The 'Wisteria Lane' Spin-off
A reboot with the original cast may not be in the future, but that doesn't mean we've seen the last of the drama-filled suburban cul-de-sac. In 2025, Kerry Washington's production company, Simpson Street, announced that it was producing a spin-off, called Wisteria Lane. Washington gave an update in Dec. 2025.
"We're deep in development right now," she told TODAY. "The thing is, I'm such a fan of the original franchise, and friends with those folks, Marc Cherry and Eva Longoria. So we're only going to do this when we feel like it's really, really right."
