The US broadcaster ABC is expected to announce on Sunday that the eighth season of Desperate Housewives, which starts in September, will be the last.
The women of Wisteria Lane, including Teri Hatcher as Susan Mayer and Eva Longeria as Gabrielle Solis, burst on to television screens in 2004 and immediately attracted 21.6 million viewers. The show eventually attracted 120 million viewers around the world.
It has recently seen audiences dwindle and there was also off-screen drama with former cast member Nicolette Sheridan suing over her departure.
The creator of the show, Marc Cherry, is not returning to produce the final season’s episodes, allowing him to focus on other projects.
The show, which centres on the lives of a group of women in the fictional town of Fairview, has won numerous Emmy and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
