Edie Britt's replacement has been found. "Sopranos" star Drea de Matteo is the new Wisteria Lane vixen in "Desperate Housewives."

According to EW, the 37-year-old actress has been tapped to be the new housewife seductress in the ABC series. She will be a show regular and will play the matriarch of a new Italian family.

Casting is underway for her screen husband and their son.
