Yahoo Sports Desperate Housewives star on spin-off possibility
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria has hinted that a spin-off of the classic show is possible.
The actress played Gabrielle Solis for eight seasons on the Primetime Emmy award-winning drama series, alongside Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Nicollette Sheridan.
Nearly 11 years after the show ended, Longoria has reiterated previous comments that she'd love to play Gabrielle again even if a full-on reboot is unlikely.

"I'd be the first one to sign up. I'd probably be the only one," she told Radio Times this week.
"I always tell Marc [Cherry, creator]: 'So, you wouldn't do a reboot?' He just thinks we have fully mined those characters," Longoria added. "He doesn’t know what else there is to say about those characters."
However, she did hint that just because a reboot of the original show is unlikely, it doesn't mean a spin-off of some kind is impossible.
"I think he'd do a new show on Wisteria Lane. A new set of women," the actress teased.
Since wrapping up her time on Desperate Housewives, Longoria has expanded her career to directing and producing. She most recently directed Flamin' Hot, the movie about the creation of the spicy Cheetos brand.

Longoria also produced the original John Wick for the big screen and has brought Telenovela and Grand Hotel to the small screen.
She's become a prolific television director as well, having worked on the likes of Black-ish, Why Women Kill and Jane the Virgin. The Flamin' Hot movie marks Longoria's feature directorial debut.
All eight seasons of Desperate Housewives are available to buy digitally on Amazon in the UK as well the US.
