After 8 years of scandals, affairs and drama the women of Wisteria Lane will say goodbye in the upcoming fall season. Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry confirmed the news, “I’ve been working in TV for 23 years, and I’ve been very aware of people over staying their welcome. Shows go on too long and they are unceremoniously booted off. I didn’t want it to happen to Desperate Housewives. While we are still a force to be reckoned with, I wanted to go off in the classiest way possible. It was actually bittersweet and lovely. The women knew it was a possibility. There was a touch of shock, but not completely, with everyone I spoke to. We can have the whole year to reflect on how lucky we have been.” ABC has promised, “Season 8 of Desperate Housewives will roll out in a way that is accessible even to viewers who may have lapsed in their viewing, and be all the richer and more rewarding to the series’ loyal fans.” Looks like we’re going to have a fun and dramatic final season, can’t wait!
