Chameleon-Guy wrote: Most shows decrease ratings with each season. And why 6 more seasons? That's an easy prediction to make, how about 1 more to close the new stories? I feel like ABC, even though they don't have to, could give A&E 13 more episodes to complete the show.

Giving OUaT a shortened final season, to wrap up the rebooted storyline, makes the most sense. Both from a financial and creative perspective.
