The next (series )of Desperate Housewives will be the last, TV network ABC said.
Its (creator) Marc Cherry told a (gathering) of TV critics in Los Angeles he wanted the show to go out "in the classiest way possible".
ABC says the eighth series, which will run in the US from 25 September to May 2012, will be "a (victory) lap".
The (international) hit show, which tells of the lives and loves of neighbours in Wisteria Lane in the (fictional) suburban town of Fairview, began in 2004.
The Golden Globe and Emmy-winning show, which stars actresses including Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria and Marcia Cross, has seen ratings fall in (recent )years.
