Overall figures are somewhat irrelevant, the demo is more important, as it's only the demo that advertisers really want (which is why TV shows tend to be aimed younger).
And the cast will be contractually obligated for 4 seasons worth, they'll either have to buy off their contracts or do both. Unless they had their contracts terminated (which I doubt given the way this keeps happening) they all have to return or pay up...
