- A fresh scandal is brewing on one of TV’s most iconic streets. Wisteria Lane, an offshoot of Desperate Housewives, is currently in the works from 20th Television and Kerry Washington‘s production company Simpson Street. 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.'” There’s no word yet on who would play the “very different friends.” In 2023, Eva Longoria said she’d be “the first to sign up for a reboot.” Wisteria Lane comes on the heels of Desperate Housewives‘ 20th anniversary last October, which brought on a new wave of nostalgia and reboot talk. Get caught up, Desperate Housewives is now streaming in its entirety on Hulu.
- The “I Believe in Nashville” mural, a cherished symbol of the city’s resilience and community spirit, has faced multiple challenges over the years. Notably, it survived the devastating March 2020 tornado that destroyed much of the Basement East venue, leaving the mural remarkably untouched . However, it has also been a target for vandalism on several occasions. In March 2017, the mural was defaced with tar, and later that year, it was altered to read “I Believe in Global Warming,” leading to felony vandalism charges against three individuals . Despite these incidents, the mural has been restored each time by its creator, Adrien Saporiti, reaffirming its place as an iconic representation of Nashville’s enduring spirit. This time however, it’s been over a week since the recent vandalization with no plans as of yet to restore it.
