Marc Cherry, the creator of the hit TV series "Desperate Housewives, " is exploring a new chapter set in the past. After two decades, Cherry is considering a prequel series that would take fans back to 1966. The original show, which ran from 2004 to 2012, was known for its captivating storylines and the iconic Wisteria Lane neighborhood.

Cherry has a special connection to this fictional street. He believes it was one of the most exciting "playgrounds" for any television writer. He knows the houses and the layout so well that he can recognize them instantly, even in commercials. This deep familiarity has led him to think about how Wisteria Lane might look in a different era.

The idea of a prequel isn't new to Cherry. He's had it in mind for a while, and many fans have also been curious about a reboot. Cherry admits he has a few ideas up his sleeve, but he wants to ensure there's a good reason to bring the show back. He believes that with his experience and what he's learned, he could do a better job this time around.

One of the key questions Cherry has is whether there's still something meaningful to say with a reboot. He believes that any new series should have a strong artistic purpose. Only then would it make sense to revisit Wisteria Lane.

Cherry has gone on to create other successful shows after "Desperate Housewives, " including "Devious Maids" and "Why Women Kill. " These projects showcase his ability to craft engaging stories. Now, he's considering a return to the neighborhood that first captured the hearts of millions.
