“Desperate Housewives” is a blend of comedy, drama, and mystery, crafted by Marc Cherry and brought to life by ABC Studios and Cherry Productions. This American TV series graced the screens on ABC every Sunday at 9 P.M. Eastern/8 P.M. Central, running from October 3, 2004, to May 13, 2012. Marc Cherry, the executive producer, also took on the role of showrunner. From the fourth season onward, the executive production team expanded to include Bob Daily, George W. Perkins, John Pardee, Joey Murphy, David Grossman, and Larry Shaw.

The narrative unfolds on Wisteria Lane, a street located in the fictional town of Fairview within the imaginary Eagle State. The plot revolves around a group of women, with their stories narrated by a deceased neighbor who took her own life in the opening episode. Spanning eight seasons, the series chronicles thirteen years of these women’s lives, covering the periods from 2004 to 2008 and later from 2013 to 2017. Throughout the series, they navigate personal challenges and family dynamics while uncovering the secrets, crimes, and mysteries lurking beneath the facade of their seemingly idyllic suburban community.

The show boasts a diverse ensemble cast, led by Teri Hatcher as Susan Mayer, Felicity Huffman as Lynette Scavo, Marcia Cross as Bree Van de Kamp, and Eva Longoria as Gabrielle Solis. Brenda Strong provides the voice of the late Mary Alice Young, occasionally appearing in flashbacks or dream sequences.
