Desperate Housewives is a soap, created by Marc Cherry, with a truly contemporary take on the “happily ever after”. It is a darkly comedy which takes place in a little area, Wisteria Lane, where the secret lives of housewives aren’t always what they seem.

The series began with Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) leaving her perfect house, in the loveliest of suburbs, and ending it all. Now she takes us into the lives of her family, friends and neighbors.

Her circle of girlfriends includes :

- Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher), who has finally married the love of her life but is now faced with the challenges of a blended family ;

- Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), who struggles with work, health and family issues;

- Bree Van De Kamp (Marcia Cross) — Martha Stewart on steroids — who tries to keep her image of perfection even as everything crumbles around her;

- Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria), the newly married ex-model who seems to have everything she has ever wanted – a rich, powerful husband, a big house — everything that is, but a husband she truly loves.

From her unique vantage point, Mary Alice sees more now than she ever did alive, and she’s planning to share all the delicious secrets that hide behind every neighbor’s closed door in this seemingly perfect American suburb.

Since its premiere on ABC on October 3, 2004, the show has been well received by the critics as well as the audience. The show is a multiple Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award winner, and in April 2007 it was reported to be the most popular show in its demographic worldwide, with an audience of approximately 115 to 119 million viewers.
