Desperate Housewives to Add Two New Seasons

According to TV Guide, Cherry made the announcement on Wednesday at a cake-cutting ceremony for the show's 100th episode.

Cherry's desire for those two extra seasons isn't set in stone, said a studio source. Lots of paperwork and a formal pick-up by ABC are necessary before any new plans for Desperate Housewives -- now in the middle of its fifth season -- can move forward.

This news comes nearly two years after Cherry signed a four-year deal with ABC and revealed his plan to wrap up the suburban hijinks in 2011.

"At the end of my deal, and after seven seasons, it will be a good time to call it quits," Cherry said. "I don't want anyone else to run the show, and I don't want us to fade away."

Another source told TV Guide that Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman and Eva Longoria are on board. No mention was made of Nicollette Sheridan's stance.

This new deal -- if it goes through -- would keep the show on the air until 2013, for more than four more years.
