Production
editIt is an iconic show. We are so proud of it. I just wanted to make sure that this show that put this network on the map... had its victory lap, had a chance to really set out every episode and build an arc [in its final season.]
In 2007, series creator and executive producerMarc Cherrystated that he planned to endDesperate Housewivesafter its seventh season in 2011. He explained: "I think that, at the end of my deal, and after seven seasons, it will be a good time to call it quits. I don't want anybody else to run the show and I don't want [it] to fade away... I don't want to overstay my welcome."[11]Cherry reaffirmed his intentions the following year.[12]However, in 2009, Cherry signed a deal withABCdesigned to potentially keepDesperate Housewiveson air until the end of its ninth season in 2013.[13]Lead actresses Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, and Eva Longoria signed on for an eighth season in April 2011, with each earning a reported salary of $325,000 per episode. Their contracts also included financial incentives for a potential ninth season.[14]ABC officially announced the show's eighth season on May 17, 2011, along with the rest of its primetime schedule for the2011-2012 television season.[15]
In July 2011, it was reported that ABC was considering ending the series after the eighth season.[16]On August 7, ABC president Paul Lee confirmed that the eighth season would be the show's last at theTelevision Critics Associationmedia press tour.[10]Cherry commented on the show's ending, stating: "Shows go on too long and they are unceremoniously booted off. I didn’t want it to happen toDesperate Housewives.While we are still a force to be reckoned with, I wanted to go off in the classiest way possible. "[17]Cherry reported that the cast was bittersweet over the news of the series' end. "The women knew it was a possibility," he explained. "There was a touch of shock but not completely."[10]Shooting of the series finale took place from April 16 to 26, 2012.[18][19]
