Desperate Housewives Cast: Where Are They Now?

This juicy, soapy drama sucked fans into the complicated lives of the women who lived on the fictional Wisteria Lane. For eight seasons audiences got to know neighbors in this quaint suburb, where affairs, gunshots, deaths, and tragedies became the norm. Even the show's pilot kicked off with a bang, in the form of the mysterious suicide of neighbor Mary Alice, and things only got crazier from there.

But while this show featured some powerful female leads like Eva Longoria and Teri Hatcher, there was unfortunately almost as much drama on the screen as off the screen. Toward the end of the run, the show had the gossip mags filled with tales about in-fighting among the cast. And you’ve likely seen star Felicity Huffman’s name pop up again in the tabloids due to her arrest in the college admissions scandal.

If you'd like to revisit the drama-filled eight seasons, they're available to stream on Hulu. Here's what the cast has been up to since the show went off the air in 2012.

She played the approachable Susan Mayer, a divorced, single mom with a very tumultuous romantic life.

The former Lois & Clark star took another turn in the Superman world with a recurring role on Supergirl. She also did a stint as Matthew Perry's girlfriend on The Odd Couple reboot.

She played the stunning neighborhood bombshell Gabrielle Solis, who had a contentious relationship with husband Carlos, and a memorable affair with a hot young gardener.

She's been one busy woman. Since Housewives ended, she's launched her clothing line, gotten a Master's degree in Chicano studies, and done a lot of charity work. Somewhere in the midst of all that she got married, had a son, was an executive producer of Devious Maids, directed a host of TV shows, starred in the live-action Dora movie and the short-lived sitcom Telenovela. She's also the face of L'Oreal cosmetics.

She won an Emmy for her turn as Lynette Scavo on the popular series. The beleaguered mom was constantly trying to cope with work, illness, marriage, and more.

After Housewives ended, Huffman earned Emmy nominations for her work in American Crime. Unfortunately, the lauded actress was one of the people arrested and charged in the college admissions scandal, where she was accused of having a proctor secretly correct SAT answers on her daughter Sophia's test. She was fined and sentenced to 14 days in jail in the fall of 2019.

She played the polished Bree Van de Camp, on a quest for a perfect life, but facing a lot of hurdles along the way, including multiple marriages and alcoholism.

She was recently seen on the ABC drama Quantico as President Claire Haas. Cross also fought a battle with anal cancer, and is now in remission.

He played the philandering Tom Scavo, husband to Lynette who always seemed to be in the midst of a mid-life crisis.

Pictured here with his wife (and former Melrose Place co-star) Laura Leighton, Savant has been seen in guest appearances on Criminal Minds, Lucifer, and NCIS.

Denton played Mike Delfino, the main love interest for Susan, in their on-again/off-again relationship.

After a stint on the Lifetime drama Devious Maids, he hopped over to the Hallmark Channel and can currently be seen on the The Good Witch.

He played Carlos Solis, sometimes-husband to Gabrielle, who got involved in many schemes, including a murder.

The actor, seen here in a guest spot on Rise, starred on the series Welcome to the Family, and had recurring parts on Scandal, Jane the Virgin, and the Santa Clarita Diet.

She played the sexy, confident, take-no-prisoners Edie Britt until her character met an untimely fate.

After leaving the show because of behind-the-scenes tensions between her and executive producer Marc Cherry, and the subsequent lawsuit, she has appeared on the Dynasty reboot as the legendary Alexis Carrington.

You may not have seen Strong in many episodes, as her character Mary Alice died in the premiere, but her omnipresent voice was the narrator you heard for the entire season.

She appeared on the Dallas reboot, was Lillian Luthor (aka, Lex’s mom) on Supergirl, and was recently Bryce's mom on the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why.

Delany was initially offered the role of Bree, but turned it down. She joined the cast in season 4 as the icy caterer Katherine Mayfair.

She left the show after season 6 for a starring gig in the series Body of Proof and was most recently on the short-lived series The Code.

She portrayed Susan's rebellious daughter Julie, who left the show after season 4, but returned again in season 6 and showed up for several episodes in the final season.

She's appeared in TV movies like Girl, Positive and G.B.F. and does voiceover work on many video games.

Hot off of her role as Wilhelmina Slater on Ugly Betty, Williams joined the cast in season seven as Renee Perry, a college friend of Lynette's.

She launched a clothing line in 2016 and is the voice of the Brown M&M, and earlier this year the multi-talented actress starred in London's West End version of the musical City of Angels.

He was the attractive, and often shirtless, John Rowland, who had an affair with Gabrielle.

He played the title character in the film John Tucker Must Die, had starring roles on the Dallas reboot and the crime drama Chase, and is currently starring on the Hallmark Channel series Chesapeake Shores.
