E Online reports that Desperate Housewives showrunner Marc Chery would like to extend the show through to a ninth season, though there are “no deals in place yet.”

It all depends on ratings, cast willingness and other major factors, according to a source, before adding that “it sure seems like it could happen.”

The show is currently in its fifth season and the TV network is yet to pick up on a sixth season. It has to be noted that ratings for the show has been stellar this year.
