Personally I don't think for a minute this will be a series finale, but I do think it might be a finale for the mane six, if that makes any sense. That is to say, if pony is going to keep growing and changing as to just stopping, I could see this movie being one big hurrah for the mane six as the mane cast, I think they will always be around of course, but well.
It is entirely possible after the movie they could say, pull a Young Justice, do a time skip and have the show move focus to a teenaged Cutie Mark Crusaders, with a reformed Diamond Tiara & Silver Spoon as well perhaps. Or maybe at some point Sunset will return to Equestria and we will see her make her own group of friends consisting of both new & previously introduced ponies she goes on adventures with under the tutalige of Princess Twilight.
Both of thess would be ways to change things up a bit while still keeping the series tied to its core, and seeing the mane six act as mentors to a new group of elements/heroines would be pretty interesting IMO.
And there's plenty of time between now & then to wrap up lingering plot threads like making Dash a full fledged bolt, giving the CMC their marks, giving sunset closer with the human world, etc.

Sunset Shimmer is BEST Hu-Mane!!
