I’m honestly shocked the likes of Lord of the Rings or Marvel movies with lots of mocap didn’t already do this.
Huh. I wonder if cast contracts were separate from the show’s renewal status.
Because even though they had eight-year contracts, the show was supposedly on the chopping block after three seasons. If it had been cancelled, what would they have done for the remaining five years?
Maybe what I heard had more to do with DS9 and Voyager.
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.
