It’s official: ‘Desperate Housewives’ to end

ABC confirmed Sunday that the long-running hit “Desperate Housewives” is ending after the upcoming 2011-2012 season.

“It is an iconic show, we are so proud of it,” said Paul Lee, president of ABC Entertainment, at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Sunday morning. “I just wanted to make sure this show … had its victory lap, had a chance to really set out every episode and build an arc for 22 episodes so we can say goodbye.”

“Housewives” creator Marc Cherry was also on hand to discuss the end of the drama. “(Wrapping up the show is) something that’s weighed on my mind for quite a while now,” Cherry said. “I’ve been working in television for 23 years. I’m very aware of people overstaying their welcome. … I just didn’t want that to happen to ‘Desperate Housewives.'”

In a news release, the network said that the eighth and final season will kick off in a way that will allow even fans who may have tuned out the show to jump back in.
