- Described as a “reimagining” of the iconic drama, which ran for eight seasons (2004–2012) on ABC and starred Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Nicollette Sheridan as five women — mostly friends — living on Wisteria Lane, who begin uncovering dark secrets after their neighbor Mary Alice Young kills herself.
- The new series falls under the same drama being pitched as a "fun, sexy, darkly comedic soap/mystery, in the vein of Desperate Housewives, set around a group of five very different friends and sometimes frenemies who all live on a picture-perfect cul-de-sac called 'Wisteria Lane.'"
