"Actress from 'Desperate Housewives' implies potential return to her McMahan character in proposed series revival"
In an exclusive interview with People, Kyle MacLachlan, renowned for his role as Orson Hodge in the hit series Desperate Housewives, has shown positive signs of reprising his character in the upcoming reboot, titled Wisteria Lane.
MacLachlan, who played Bree Van De Camp's love interest in the original series, has expressed his openness to returning but has emphasized that he would need to evaluate the role, character, and production process carefully. He stated, "That'd be fun," indicating his enthusiasm for the possibility, but also highlighting his thoughtful approach to the potential comeback.
The Desperate Housewives reboot, set to be produced on the Universal back lot, has not yet confirmed any cast members, including MacLachlan, nor has it announced a release date or any other production details. The original series, which aired from October 3, 2004, to May 13, 2012, consisted of 180 episodes across 8 seasons and revolved around the dark secrets, personal struggles, and complicated relationships of four friends living on Western Lane.
Interestingly, MacLachlan mentioned during the interview that Wisteria Lane, the location for the Desperate Housewives reboot, still exists on the Universal back lot as part of a tour. This suggests that the production team may be utilising the original set for the reboot.
While MacLachlan's interest in returning to the series is encouraging, it remains to be seen whether the show's creators want him back and if the character of Orson Hodge will fit seamlessly into the new narrative. Fans of the original series will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on any developments regarding the Desperate Housewives reboot.
During the interview, Kyle MacLachlan expressed his interest in reprising his character Orson Hodge in the upcoming Desperate Housewives reboot, indicating that he sees the role as a potential source of entertainment. As the production process for the reboot unfolds, relationships between MacLachlan and the show's creators, as well as the compatibility of his character with the new narrative, will be key factors in the movies-and-tv world.
