Marc Cherry To Take on Desperate Housewives by Himself This Season
Get ready for some changes to Desperate Housewives next season. Marc Cherry is no longer sharing duties with Tom Spezialy and will be taking on the show himself. Do you think the show will be much different?
“Desperate Housewives” McPherson said, addressing TV writers at the network’s semiannual presentations: "Everyone, including Marc, admitted that at the beginning of last year [’Desperate Housewives’] stumbled a bit. (We) answered so many questions at the end of the first season that he really spent too much time, I think, setting up the mystery, setting up the new arcs, and this year we’re going to jump right in."
The scripts "will be all going through Marc’s typewriter," added McPherson.
McPherson didn’t mention exactly what "Housewives" will be getting into when they start the third season in September. But he did note that Cherry has more of the season mapped out - a function of his taking over full show-running duties following the departure of executive producer Tom Spezialy.
"Marc has, partly because of the responsibility of 100 percent falling on his shoulders, has really stepped up and gotten out ahead of it," McPherson says. "And we have seen more arcing of the entire season from a specific story standpoint and soap standpoint than we’ve ever seen so far."
"Desperate Housewives" drew about 22.2 million viewers per week last season, off about 6 percent from the 23.7 million it attracted in 2004-05. It was also the No. 3 show on TV among adults 18-49, trailing only the two editions of "American Idol." Via Playfuls
