Lets see in 10 years I see myself running five youtube channels and living in a giant half house half studio. Also, ROLL TIDE! 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017 national champions! (From all I can remember)
So far from what I can tell the same directors that were in Season 7 Episode 8 onwards will be present at least until Season 8 Episode 7. Josh Haber and Nicole Dubuc will story edit Season 8 atleast until Episode 7. This implies for me that at least during those particular episodes of Season 8 the movie wasn't done yet. I have no idea if they will be in the second half.
