For another, as SAwatching said, if TLG were to end around the time of the live-action film's release, it would make for a nice universal wrap-up; we finally know more about TLKII and understand why Kion isn't in that film, and we get the ultimate TLK closing - a full-scale remake. The Circle of Life will be complete, if you will.

Additionally, as you said, Fuli, we haven't heard anything about a 4th or 5th season. If there were to be additional seasons after Season 3, I think we would've known by now. After all, Season 3 will most likely conclude in just over a year from now. Whereas, if I am recalling correctly, we knew about Seasons 2 and 3 before Season 1 was barely halfway through (?).

So in conclusion, although it pains me greatly to say it, it is my belief that TLG will come to a close after Season 3. And I have a strong feeling we won't be getting much more new TLK stuff at all after the live-action film cools down.

That is my fear, but I don't think Disney would dare try to replace one of their (In My (and I dare say most of our opinions THE) greatest animated movies of all time with a Live Action Remace. The way the tried to have Maleficent replace Sleeping Beauty, that would be a huge mistake. I doubt Disney would make an effort to draw in new fans with a preschool show, only to say the characters you have created and continuity you have establashed do not matter.

There is aslo the fact that Jon Favreau said (I don't know in what interview) and I paraphrase that he was nat trying to outdo The Original and that The original holds up.

I also feel that even if the series,ends excellently, and gives us the explanation of where Kion and everyone was during The 2nt part of Lion King 2. As well as giving us strong indacation that he ended up with Rani (That's notwho I am rooting for, but I think that it is going to be that way). If we don't see at least one adventure from Kion's adult life, I won't feel like the circle is compleet. Because there would still be a very significant part of Kion's life that we did not get to see.
