I think ABC wants a season 8, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed the whole reboot thing. But they depend on the raitings

And I don't think they can cut the budget any lower. The special effects are noticeably cheaper in S7. If they a S8 with even less budget they would have to use cardboard cutouts to make the fireballs
