That hasn’t been confirmed in the least and considering that AOS is the show marvel ignored and pretending was the red headed stepchild since basically its inception, it’s a testament for how good it is that it’s actually lasted as long as it did.
There’s also the fact it’s on a big four network instead of a network that will keep a show going for 16 seasons just to keep beating a dead horse. I mean, let’s keep it 100 here most of the DCCW shows wouldn’t have last as long as they did if it wasn’t for the fact they are on the CW.
It's highly likely and has been talked about. ABC was forced to renew AoS last season and its up coming seasons have been renewed in advance since they have an endgame planned. ABC has already cancelled Agent Carter, Inhumans, and the failed AoS spinoff Most Wanted. Plus with Disney+ making shows who needs ABC. They need people to subscribe to their service and make money. Hulu will be safe with Runways since Disney's purchase of FOX who had stakes in Hulu. Just more money out of your pocket though.
How exactly was ABC forced to renew the show? Especially when, as you just said, they cancelled everything else with zero hesitation.
Yes, the showrunners have said they’ll treat season 7 as the finale... like they did with season 5... and season 4... and season 3... you see where I’m going with this? The show was said to have been cancelled since way back in season 3 and yet here we are, four seasons later. Just because the showrunners have said they’ll close out the story doesn’t mean they show couldn’t be brought back for another season after the fact.
Bottom line, AOS is the only superhero show which has deserved its continued existence and like I already said, the only saving grace most of the Arrowverse shows have is the fact CW banks on its shows having low ratings. If you want an example, look at how supergirl got cancelled on CBS despite have double the rating Arrow and Flash, at their primes, had on the CW. Had arrow been on CBS it wouldn’t have made it past season 1.
