It's the news we've all been waiting for! Our favourite Noughties TV show Desperate Housewives is back, albeit in a slightly different format than we're used to.

This Sunday, eager viewers can catch up with the celebrity cast of the popular show as they appear on reunion programme Stars in the House to look back over their time on Wisteria Lane.

So what was the iconic show about?

What was 'Desperate Housewives' about?

The popular show ran for eight seasons, from 2004 until 2012, and was set around a group of housewives who lived on Wisteria Lane, a suburban street in the fictional town of Fairview.

The comedy-drama initially followed four friends, Susan (Teri Hatcher), Bree (Marcia Cross), Lynette (Felicity Huffman) and Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) as they dealt with affairs, love triangles, baby swaps, murder mysteries and plenty of gossip.

Meanwhile, actress Brenda Strong also appeared in the show, as Wisteria Lane's own voiceover.

In later series, the four women were joined by Dana Delaney and Vanessa Williams who played housewives Katherine Mayfair and Renee Perry.

What happened at the end of the last series of Desperate Housewives?

The final episode of Desperate Housewives focused on the fallout of the murder of Gabrielle's stepdad, Bree's arrest and trial, Renee's wedding and Susan moving away from Wisteria Lane after the death of her husband.

What do we know about the Desperate Housewives reunion?

The show's cast members will reunite this weekend for a livestream episode of Stars in the House, an online concept set up to raise funds for the COVID-19 crisis.

Created by SiriusXM host Seth Rudetsky and his husband James Wesley, Stars in the House will air daily live-streamed episodes delving into some of our favourite shows and will reunite cast members to look back on their time working on popular shows.

When will it air?

The cast will reunite for a special episode of Stars in the House this Sunday 12th April, which will air on the show's website and the Actors' Fund Youtube channel.

The reunion is slated to air at 8pm EST on Sunday, meaning it will be on in the UK at 1am into the early hours of Monday morning.

Who will appear in the reunion?

Most cast members are set to appear on this weekend's reunion show.

Original cast members Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria and Brenda Strong will reunite for the online special, which will be live-streamed for fans of the show.

According to Deadline, fellow actresses Dana Delaney and Vanessa Williams will also be back!

Who won't be appearing in the reunion?

After her brush with the law last year, it's no surprise that Huffman won't be appearing in the special.

The actress pleaded guilty to her role in last year's college admissions scandal, where she paid for her daughter's exam answers to be corrected, and subsequently spent 11 days in jail.

Teri Hatcher is also unlikely to return for the reunion special.

The actress, who also appeared in Nineties TV show Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman as Lois Lane, reportedly did not get along with other members of the cast during their time working together, according to rumours.

In an open letter she wrote in support of Huffman for last year's trial, fellow cast member Eva Longoria claimed she was 'bullied' on set by one particular person.

And, though she did not name names, this has fuelled rumours that she was referring to Hatcher - although this has never been confirmed.

Stars in the House will air on Sunday 12th April. We can't wait!
