Currently, it rules Sunday evenings in the target Demographic, and fairs reasonably well against even  things like Sunday Night Football and the many different awards shows. It may not draw as much audience as shows like Grey's Anatomy or How to Get Away with Murder, but it does well enough.

Also, I recall reading somewhere that the ABC top level execs like the show.

So, really, the show would have to tank really bad before the execs yanked it. And Adam and Eddy would have to run out of ideas before they pulled the plug on it. So, all that being said, as long as Adam and Eddy have good story lines, this show could run for 9-10 seasons.

Side Note: If it does run that long, they will definitley have to do SOMETHING to allow Henry (and Roland, Grace, Hansel, Gretel, and the other children to grow up). I still think a good spin off series is a "future" series that features the Children of the Fairy Tale legends. Have Henry, Roland, Alexandra, Neal, Philip Jr., and Baby Zelena (and maybe Grace and Hansel/Gretel) form the core group, and place them in their 20's (Henry would be in his 30's), and have them travel back (or get sucked back) to the EF, and see how Children raised in a Modern world cope with the EF as adults. You'd have to cast the adult versions of all the kids. I absolutely believe this is a great idea for a spin-off series.

The writers have said already that they know how it's going to end. So basically they should try to be heading to that point. Anything else would just be a filler.

And in hindsight the Peter Pan, Wicked Witch & Frozen arcs were just detours to the main storyline which, I feel like, we've finally reached. So I would be happy if the series ends up finishing in another 1 or 2 seasons as long as the story stays on track and it doesn't take too many detours.
