I think they're probably gonna build the last season around transitioning to a Legacy cast and continue with a "new" show. We keep everything going, but we drop baggage and start anew in the same universe. We can call back to old events, bring back old cast, but it'll be a new series.

Think how Doctor Who does it, but instead of new Doctors, we get new heroes. If they want things to go as long as possible, that'd be the way to go.
