Unfortunately, alot of the time, a show's lifespan is based on nielsen ratings. Howver, I think that this show has a very large fandom, and because it ties into the Disney media, it has a higher chance than most shows to continue (The fact that their lowest viewership is 2.49, is still quite impressive).

+ I know this isn't an ABC show, but Supernatural has lower ratings (they've been on the 1 millions for a while), and they are on their 13th season. So power to the fandoms I guess.

It counts definitely. OUAT has a loooot of green factors for a potential renewal ^^
