Ebony Life TV CEO, MO Abudu was on hand to explain some of the exclusivity of the show. She noted that the Desperate Housewives show had been recreated in about three different countries including Turkey and Argentina but this would be the first time the show would be done in English aside from the original US version. “This would also be the first time they have a black cast” she added.
