This is a full season show. They are risking a lot with a 22 episodes season without the lead character

JMO gave them zero second thoughts at all. They knew she would not be back since 3 months at least. They just got more time to prepare a renewal without her.

Pretty much everyone in the press knew about JMo's departure since 6x16 at the very least. While the wirters did have to write two endings, that was before 6x01 since they planned for a whole arc.
