Channel 4 has retained the rights to show series three and four of Desperate Housewives.
How much the channel paid to hold onto the US drama is not known, but Channel 4 confirmed to Digital Spy that it is paying a higher price than it was previously.
Other reports suggest that the channel outbid rivals ITV, Sky and Flextech to retain the show which stars Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher and Nicolette Sheridan as the ladies of Wisteria Lane.
Series three of the show will air at the beginning of next year.
Earlier this week Sky One announced it had won the rights to show season three and four of US show Lost after outbidding Channel 4.
i wish channel 4 wouldn't get the rights for desperete housewives the second season was rubbish the 1st was ok i will not be watching the 3rd season. I wish they would have just offered more for lost and not bother with desperete housewives
Most anticipated Movie for 2007 - American Gangster 2008 - The Dark Knight, Bond 22
Fine guys-i personally find Desperate housewives amusing current season airing in states is not bad but i see you lot just want action and adventure and can't really sad a slow show and has humour.
