The “Desperate Housewives” actress’s production company — dubbed UnbeliEVAble Entertainment — has landed a pair of projects in development at ABC, as well as an eight-hour miniseries at Starz.

At the Alphabet net, Longoria has partnered with another thesp, “Cold Case” alum Kathryn Morris, to exec produce the drama “Sendera.”

Hourlong, set up through ABC Studios, centers on two wealthy families — one from Mexico, the other from Texas — locked in a power struggle.

Fred Ellis, Monte Williams and Sally Robinson are attached to write.

Longoria’s UnbeliEVAble is producing with Morris’ Hotplate Prods. Hotplate’s Alan Barnette and UnbeliEVAble’s Virginia Trinkle are co-exec producers.

Longoria is also behind the single-camera comedy “Parenting by Committee.” Show centers on four single best friends who discover that one of them is pregnant — and decide to raise the child, sans father, together.

Over at Starz, Longoria’s shingle is behind “Aztecs,” which centers on the historic romantic relationship between Spanish conqueror Hernan Cortes and his interpreter, Malinalli (also known as “La Malinche”).

Teri’s taken to facebook to address the recent news printing the Daily Mail made yesterday about her quitting Desperate Housewives for other projects. She says “I have never said nor inferred otherwise…I love DH, the cast and crew are like family and I am with it till its cancelled.” All you fans can now relax, the show is not in jeopardy nor are we to expect any principle cast leavings anytime soon.

Desperate Housewives returns with all new episodes on December 5th.

Desperate Housewives’ star Teri Hatcher will quit the show after the next season.

The 45-year-old actress, who has played ditsy mother Susan Mayer for seven years, has told colleagues at ABC that the next season will be her last.

And bosses at the U.S. network are now prepared for a double exit with co-star Felicity Huffman following Hatcher out of the show.

“Teri has given in her notice and is making active preparations to move on,” the Daily Mail quoted a TV insider as saying.

“She has another production deal in the pipeline and she is in the early stages of developing a sitcom that she wants to start work on immediately after she finishes Desperate Housewives – she wants a new show in time for the mid-January pilot season,” the insider said.

But while bosses are keen to keep the hit show running for at least two more seasons, insiders say the drama, set on the fictional suburban street Wisteria Lane, won’t work without Hatcher, meaning that the next season will be the last.

The show’s creator, Marc Cherry, signed a deal with ABC Studios last October which gave the show a stay of execution for two years providing that its leading cast members, including Hatcher, Eva Longoria Parker and Felicity Huffman, remained happily onboard. But all three will be out of contract after the next season.

“ABC hasn’t announced its schedule yet because the future of the series is up in the air,” the source said.

Perhaps the biggest “Smallville” casting news of the year (barring a possible return by Michael Rosenbaum) came when it was announced that Teri Hatcher would make an appearance as Ella Lane, Lois Lane’s (Erica Durance) mother.

Hatcher, of course, played Lois alongside Dean Cain’s Clark Kent in “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” in the 1990s.

Now, we’ve got your first look at Hatcher’s much-anticipated performance. Ella Lane passed away when Lois was a child, but in Friday’s episode, Lois will uncover an old video that her mother made for her.

In this sneak peek, Lois cries as she watches the tape, where her mother says, “I will always be your mother, Lois.”

After the harrowing (and heartwarming) Lane family reunion on last week’s episode, we know how important family is to Lois. As “Smallville” winds down to its final climactic episodes, we’re happy to see them tying up some loose ends and giving their characters closure.

We chatted with Durance at “Smallville’s” 200th Episode party in Vancouver, where she told us she’d had a very strong reaction to learning that Hatcher accepted the role. “I was in shooting another scene at the time and it was supposed to be a really funny scene, and I got the text and I burst into tears,” she says. “I had an absolute, unequivocal fan moment. I’m thrilled.”
