Wisteria Lane vacating in 2011?

Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry has indicated he may end the show after seven seasons, in early 2011.

“Of course,” he joked, “this could be a clever ruse to get me more money for Season 8.”

On the show jumping five years into the future, he said, “I made a mistake of telling one of my actors [about the plan] and then I’m reading in the trades and I’m like, ‘Goddamn Marcia.’

“I had been thinking how Damon and Carlton had done it in Lost… and I wanted do an eight-year jump, then somebody explained to me how the actors reacted, I thought, ‘OK, maybe five years’ and explained that they wouldn’t look old.”

The leap also allows Cherry to mature Lynette’s kids and overcome child labor laws restricting shooting schedules.
