Desperate Housewives Gets Renewed For Season 8

  According to TVLine, Desperate Housewives will be back on ABC next year as the four leading ladies have agreed to continue with the show after months of negotiations.

  The new deal not only renews the show for an eighth season but leaves the door open for an optional ninth. 

  The piece of news has not been made public by the network yet although it may be possible that it won´t be confirmed until the May upfronts.

  According to reports, Teri Hatcher once again negotiated her deal separately from her co-stars and Vanessa Williams, who joined the show early this season, is also slated to return next year.

  No word yet on Marc Cherry´s involvement with the show, although it is probable that if his ABC pilot (Halleluyah) gets picked up, he would pass over the torch to Bob Daily who is the current executive producer.

Desperate Housewives Could End In 2013

 Marc Cherry, creator of ABC´s hit show Desperate Housewives, has confirmed that the show stars are currently in talks to sign up for two more seasons.

 Cherry confirmed the news to TV Guide: "The actresses are still in hot and heavy negotiations, so as of this moment everyone is hopeful and optimistic that we'll be returning for an eighth season, but until the women have signed on there is no guarantee."

 Originally, the stars of the series were signed to appear until the end of this year. With Marc Cherry´s own contract ending in 2013, it would only make sense to continue the show for two more years.

"I think that's what everyone would be happy with," he said. "I think nine years would be a really good run. I've specifically asked [ABC] to please get the deal done as quickly as possible so I can know. I would hate to have to wrap up Desperate Housewives in an untidy fashion just because they weren't able to make a deal. But everyone's pretty optimistic a deal will be made."
