For my 2 pennies worth I think the next full cast will set in series 1 with a recast Gan. I'm sure I read this somewhere, maybe a report by someone on the last BF day? The recent B7 podcast ended with a clip from what sounded like full cast and Blake was in it, so I'm guessing some or hopefully all of this was recorded before Gareth Thomas's death. Of course, maybe the clip was from something already released and I got the wrong end of the stick ...
After the next full cast series, I think it would be time for another season C full cast with either Josette Simon or a recast Dayna, or D if they have the rights by then. The full cast will then continue with seasons C & D.
The problem is seasons A & B, so I'm going to stick my neck out and predict the decision to end the LCs will be reversed, as this is the only way to represent that era on audio without a recast. They might stick with full cast and go for a "Blake is missing" arc like the recent "Dayna is missing" arc, but that is going to become stale very quickly so I can't really see it.
Other, less likely possibilities, are full cast prequels like the Early Years B7E did or else new spin-offs set in the B7 universe. I am actually keen on this latter idea. The B7 universe is interesting enough and BF's writers are talented enough for it to work and, not to be morbid, but none of the original cast are getting any younger.

I mostly agree with you- I'm hoping a Series A was mostly recorded with the recast Gan already. Then switch to a Series C with a recast Dayna for 2017. After that.. enough time should have past that a recast Blake may be more..acceptable in 2018 or so?

It seems indecent to so soon be even talking on here about recasting Blake.

My understanding is they hadn't cast anyone yet, so I don't believe there's anything in the can, sadly.

only going to get Danya if BF Recast from this Weeks Podcast "Josette Simon has said no to Blake's 7 though she's happy to work with BF on other projects." Regards mark687 Thanks for that. It seems from Nick's podcast comments that Blake's 7 isn't necessarily coming to an end despite the sad death of Gareth Thomas, which is something positive ... unless I'm misreading the sentiment.

I'd be gutted if this meant the end for the B7 range at BF but I guess we should prepare ourselves for it and be glad that we got what we did

It seems indecent to so soon be even talking on here about recasting Blake. 100% distasteful. The man is hardly cold in the ground. And anyone who thinks BF will recast him in the next year or two, or that the older cast members would just go along with it....I think they're nuts. Look at how BF have treated beloved Who characters who have passed on. There's plenty of precedent for when they do - and do not - recast.

The way things sit now, the most logical approach would be more Liberator Chronicles. That way you can have Dayna, or Gan or Blake or ORAC or Zen or Slave or Soolin as major characters. Besides, I still want a Zen and ORAC LC

Ohh hush you. I'm sure whatever speed bump is preventing Scorpio Chronicles can be, if not has been, resolved.

I hope it will be, but it's a complicated matter.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Can't we have post 'blake' stories? Great idea! Dayna was killed by Arlen's gun but all the rest of the cast survive, having only been stunned. And Blake was misleading Tarrant about Jenna's 'death' - she is found in the base too. And that solves the problems of all the current actors who want/don't want to return too! Now we just need a new spaceship too...

How about the federation pursuit ship...
Then they go on a season long quest to return to the dsv Base and steel another liberator
