Reports have suggested that Desperate Housewives will end in two years' time.

According to Deadline, ABC is considering a two-year pickup on the show, which would include deals with the main writers.

Creator Marc Cherry currently has a contract with the network for three more years, but could spend the final year in development if Desperate Housewives comes to an end after its eighth season.

Meanwhile, stars Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria Parker and Marcia Cross reportedly have deals through the next season.

ABC has allegedly contacted them about extending their deals for two more years, but there is not thought to have been significant communication between the actresses and the studio.

Last year, Cherry revealed that he always planned to end the show around two years after his initial seven-year contract.
