List of episodes

The eighth season of Desperate Housewives, a television series created by Marc Cherry, is expected to begin being broadcast in the USA on September 25, 2011.[1]

Desperate Housewives was renewed for an eighth season by ABC on May 17, 2011.[2] It is confirmed that the eighth season will be the show's final season.[3][4][5]

Production

Production for the show's eighth season is currently underway. Brenda Strong has stated in an interview that this season's mystery arc will reveal more secrets of the Young family, giving her character more screentime.[6]

Desperate Housewives may have one more time warp in it before it signs off in May. The ABC soap — which famously jumped ahead five years at the end of Season 4 — may take a more substantial leap (a few decades) in the series finale.[7]

Cast
