I mean, they can't cancel the show in the middle of season right? Yeah, I think due to the financial deals they made for S7, prospective S7 ratings did not matter in their decision and they probably had to agree to renew for the full 22 episodes to get that streaming deal. It's likely to be the last though because S6 ratings relative to other dramas on the network were still okay. I can't see that factor holding up without 3/4 of the cast and a possible move to Fridays.
