《绝望的主妇》第五季是跳跃到了五年后。五年后的紫藤街将又是一番如何景象？
Katherine终于正式成为第六位主妇。Bree成了家政女王，她与Orson复合的前因后果会在第五季第1集揭晓；Gaby也成了妈，成了肥肥的黄脸婆；Susan将会有新男人；孩子不听话，Lynette焦头烂额；Eddie将会带上新男人和新秘密重返紫藤街。
新加盟的男演员Neal McDonough带来了新的神秘感，成为Eddie的新男人；Gale Harold（曾主演知名剧《同志亦凡人》）也将出演 Susan的新男人。Gaby的盲人丈夫Carlos在本季稍后将会复明！而这一重大转折将促使夫妇俩来个彻头彻尾的改变。据说会动用到整容医生。难道 Gaby就是这样戏剧性地从肥胖的黄脸婆回归到光鲜的？
这一切都将发生在《绝望的主妇》第五季中。

第六季即将于今年的9月初亮相，剧中此前消失的朱莉、卡尔等角色都将重新进入观众的视野，而在第五季结尾留下的悬念——披婚纱与迈克步入婚姻殿堂的女主角到底是谁，也即将揭晓。
