It's hard to believe that the darkly humorous show, Desperate Housewives, first aired 20 years ago in 2004. Over the years, viewers have been captivated by the sinister secrets hidden behind the perfect facades of Wisteria Lane, and now even more are discovering it on streaming platform Disney+. While people love watching the scandalous lives of the housewives unfold, many fans are also curious about what the stars who brought these legendary roles to life are doing two decades later.
In honor of Desperate Housewives' 20th anniversary, let's take a look at what the iconic cast is up to now. Since Desperate Housewives finished in 2012, Teri Hatcher has kept a relatively low profile. However, she has landed recurring roles in several shows, including The Odd Couple and Supergirl.
She also had a voice role in the 2013 Disney movie Planes and its 2014 sequel, Planes: Fire & Rescue. In later years, she appeared in the 2021 Hallmark TV movie A Kiss Before , reuniting with Mike Delfino star James Denton. She followed this up with Hallmark rom-com, Mid-Love Crisis, in 2022 and appeared in an episode of Fantasy Island with Denton in 2023.
She shares one daughter, Emerson, with her ex-husband Jon Tenney, who is also an actor. Actress Felicity Huffman was a fan-favourite on Desperate Housewives but has since suffered a fall from grace thanks to her involvement in the nationwide college admissions scandal. She pleaded guilty to paying $15,000 to boost her eldest daughter Sophia’s SAT s.
