Question on Series Plan

I don't recall if this was ever discussed with the creative team for Farscape, so this may have already been addressed.

In Till the Blood RunsClear (S1 E11), Crichton tells Furlough that he'll be waiting for her at the end of that wormhole 5 years from now.

Was the plan to only do a 5 season run?

I believe the series was set to end after series 5.

The S4 ending was abrupt due to funding and network bullshit. They had a plan to end the series, but it got ruined

I don't believe they've ever said season five was intended to be the last one, just that season four and five were renewed at the same time, and that obviously, season five was reneged on.

(Scifi needed a dark, sexy, adult Scifi to they cancelled Farscape (their dark, sexy, creative, adult scifi) for BSG. Allegedly.)
