Are y’all ready for Felicity Huffman Macy to make her comeback? Because it sounds like she’s chompin’ at the bit!
The former Desperate Housewives star has done a heckuva job laying law since returning home from her (very brief) federal prison sentence levied upon her for being involved in the infamous college admissions scandal. But now, it sounds like she’s ready to turn the page and move on with her life.

A source spoke to ET on Monday about William H. Macy‘s wife’s current quarantine lifestyle and future plans, noting she’s continuing to take on her new charity outreach roles — and she’s particularly optimistic about returning to acting soon. The insider noted:
“Like everyone else, Felicity is staying home with her family and quarantining. She continues to be very involved with the charities involving prison reform and The Teen Project. Once COVID settles, and as she has said in the past, she will continue the work past the completion of her community service hours. Felicity is also hopeful that she’ll be able to return to acting early next year.”
Nice!!!
Of course, Huffman Macy’s penance for her role in the college admissions scandal was that 13-day sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California this past October. She also paid a $30,000 fine, is currently going through one year of supervised release, and has continued to take on her community service role with gusto. Honestly, she’s been remarkably forthright and remorseful from the start of this controversy, hasn’t she?!
If things keep going like this, then, by the time 2021 rolls around the actress is going to be completely done with paying back her debt to society. And if acting is on the table for her at that point, hey, so be it!
For what it’s worth, though, you’ll be able to catch Felicity in a new movie ahead of a potential 2021 comeback! The actress plays the leading role in Tammy’s Always Dying, a feature film set for release on May 1; it’s a dark comedy which follows Huffman as an alcoholic, unemployed mom who gets diagnosed with cancer. Interesting!! (And yes, as you’d suspect, Huffman completed filming in the months before news of the college admissions scam broke.)
What do U think, Perezcious readers? Are you ready for Felicity Huffman Macy’s comeback in to public life??
