David Gallagher, who played Simon, chose not to return as a regular. The show's already-low budget was moderately trimmed, forcing cuts in the salaries of some cast members and shortened taping schedules (seven days per episode instead of the typical eight).

Originally the show was renewed for thirteen episodes, but on September 18, 2006, the renewal was extended to a full twenty-two episodes.Īlong with the show's unexpected and last-minute renewal came some changes. After further consideration by the CW network, it was decided three days after the airing of its "series finale", that 7th Heaven would be picked up for an eleventh season, which would air on their network in the Monday-night slot that had helped make it famous. In March 2006, the main cast of characters were approached about the possibility of returning for an eleventh season. The program's future was hanging in the balance and it was entirely in the hands of the newly established CW network whether to renew it for an eleventh seasonal run. This resulted in 7th Heaven filming episodes in shorter time during the final seasons.Īfter much deliberation within the now-defunct WB network, it was made public in November 2005 that the tenth season would be the program's final season because of high costs, which were revealed to be due to a poorly negotiated licensing agreement by the WB network a few years earlier. This was due largely to the fact that after ten years of working together, the actors, producers and crew had gotten production down to a steady pace, slashing costs repeatedly and routinely coming in well under budget. The show wrapped production on the final episode March 8, 2007, about one month before most shows film their last episodes of the season. The final season of 7th Heaven was shown on the inaugural season of The CW. Its producers, including Aaron Spelling, considered it wholesome family viewing, incorporating public service announcements into the show. It was produced by Spelling Television and distributed for syndication by CBS Television Distribution.
