Cherry had publicly indicated that he was setting an end date for the series after the seventh season, but he said yesterday that he had changed his mind and is looking to extend the series up to nine seasons.
ABC had confirmed the talks, but said no deals have been made. The show, currently in its fifth season, has still not been renewed past May as of yet.
“The five-year jump seems to have reinvigorated interest in the show, and the ratings are terrific,” Cherry said, referring to the show’s story leaping five years into the future.

Recently James Denton who portrays Mike said to E! Online that the story between his character and Katherine is going further. He said, “I’ve got some great stuff coming up with Dana Delany; Mike and Katherine aren’t finished.” The actor also hints on the existence of Dave Williams in Mike’s life, saying “One theory is that he’s after me, the other theory is that he just needs information from me. The jail thing is important, [but] I haven’t heard the right theory yet about Neal McDonough, so I would just say stick with it; it’s a really great payoff.”
