Well, this seems like a little much – Desperate Housewives creator and executive producer Marc Cherry told the DH cast and crew today that he has agreed to take the show through a ninth season. The Desperate Housewives folks were cutting cake today in celebration of filming their 100th episode.

The deal has not yet been finalized – and you may or may not recall that Marc Cherry had only planned to continue the show for seven seasons.

Desperate Housewives is only in season 5, so I guess there are many more stories to be told on Wisteria Lane. But will viewers tune in through season 9?
