The last season ended a year after the series debut so it should be the same for this season. I would not mind at all if my theory turns out to be wrong. I do not really like my theory because then it means that The Lion Guard was just a marketing ploy by Disney.

As for seeing Kion (as well as Fuli and the others) grown up. I am convinced we will see that. Even if it only in the last scene of the last episode of Season 3.

I am not ready for the show to end either, but because it is a midquel I should have expected less seasons than I had hoped for.

Here's what I think may be happening. I think Season 3 will be the last season (because the airing schedule has prevented them from increasing and retaining viewership). They've been 'supposedly' working on Season 3 since before January of this year. If they go with what Ford Riley says they will (one episode every two months starting at the earliest after October, with five episodes left), they will not finish the current season until NEXT September. That would mean that, at that point, they will have had a at least a year and nine months to work on Season 3; more than enough time to completely finish production on Season 3. I think that, right around when Season 3 premieres, they will announce what Ford Riley said we shouldn't worry about; that Season 3 is the last season. At that point, they Lion Guard team will have already finished working on The Lion Guard and will then start working on other projects by the time Season 3 even airs. Then Disney can wipe its hands of these dropped egg.

If Ford Riley said we shouldn’t worry about TLG ending after Season 3, than we shouldn’t worry about it.

But it was hardly reassuring, since in the next paragraph he said that he would be approaching the higher-ups at Disney to "make the case" to continue the series. That, coupled with the low viewership, hiatuses, and airing nightmare...
