There was some uncertainty after TNG’s season 3 finale “The Best of Both Worlds part 1” if Picard or the show itself would return.
Also, Google, baby… what is you doin?

The show was almost canceled after the third season because an eighth season would’ve been too expensive. Better cancel five seasons sooner, then.
Thanks for clarifying. Contracted for 8, but Paramount got cold feet based on reception prior to the now much lauded finale.
That’s the opposite of what I heard while TNG was in the air.
Paramount renewed TNG in three-season blocks. They greenlit three seasons and renewed for three more, then chose to add an additional season knowing it would be the last. They repeated this tactic with both DS9 and Voyager.
At least that’s what I kept hearing during the 1990s.
In California you cannot make an employment contract lasting longer than seven years. So at the end of the seventh season they would have had to renegotiate the entire cast and crew’s contracts which would have been pricey.
