Skydance, the production company, says the series ran for seven seasons and 94 episodes, and notes that the final episodes stream on Netflix. Netflix’s Canada title page also lists the program as a 2022 title with seven seasons. That is a Canada-market catalog listing, not a guarantee of availability in every country; check Netflix in your own territory for current access.
