Cleaning Up After Desperate Housewives

The dirty laundry just keeps piling up.

The “Desperate Housewives” aren’t packing it in until May, but series creator Marc Cherry is already busy planning his next project. Continuing in the tradition of the hit landmark series, Cherry is reportedly developing a new show called Devious Maids at ABC. (The title could use some work.) The series, based on a popular Mexican telenovela, follows four Latina maids working in a posh neighborhood in Beverly Hills.

Cherry is also busy reworking the pilot for Hallelujah, the musical drama which ABC passed on earlier this year. The gods at the Alphabet network did show Cherry some mercy, so there’s a chance the series might still make it to air. If you remember, Hallelujah starred Lost alumnus Terry O’Quinn, who recently extended his run on the second season of Hawaii 5-0.

Devious Maids I can definitely get on board with, but I’m still a little nervous about Hallelujah. I’m curious to see who Cherry casts in the roles of the maids, not to mention the housewives they work for.

Which Marc Cherry series are you more excited about?
