As previously reported, ABC has confirmed that the upcoming eighth season of Desperate Housewives will be the show’s last season.
The news was made official to reporters at the Television Critics Association pres tour on Sunday by ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee and series creator Marc Cherry:
“I think the only thing harder than creating a hit show is knowing when to end it”, Cherry said, adding: “I wanted to go out while the network still saw us as a viable show, while we were still doing well in the ratings, while we were still a force to contend with.”
