Desperate Housewives Creator’s New Series Is Jenny Is A Weapon

On Thursday, Deadline reported that Desperate Housewives creator has created a new “psychic-fueled spy” series called Jenny Is A Weapon.

Michael Thorn, Fox’s President of Entertainment revealed that this is the “unlikely story of a heroic housewife.” Confirming that there is something familiar about a Marc Cherry character, “It has the signature Marc Cherry 40-something female lead,” he also revealed that there is something extra with this series.

“This is not a procedural, it’s not a classic franchise, but it’s one of the first things that he’s done that has an episodic engine underneath a really unique character drama. It’s more like how the dead bodies were used in Six Feet Under than for a case of the week but we’re very excited for Marc Cherry to try something that has a case element.”
