really hard to recreate the magic that made FiM so great, but fall just short. Unless Hasbro should luck into another passionate visionary like Lauren Faust, I think that is what will happen.
Well the good news for Hasbro is that they probably have years to wait until say someone talented like Rebecca Sugar or someone is done with their show and may want to work on G5. I've said this before but it looks like right now as I post on the 23rd of April 2014, everyone seems to be pretty happy where they are now. Lots of CN vets like McCracken, Renzetti, Faust, Rudish and others are at Disney. CN is being led by people like Pendleton Ward, J.G. Quintel, and Rebecca Sugar. And Nick is being all weird/niche.
I think you can say that thanks to the exodus from CN after Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and PPG ended in 2008 which possibly was the last projects by the crew from the late 90s and early 2000s, Faust, Renzetti, and Rudish were able to work on FiM.
So I wonder if that's another possibility where G5 is created when skilled individuals more or less all depart from their last studio

Is it possible that they just keep the same-ish G4 team with Jayson Thiessen and co. as well as McCarthy and keeping or adding old and new members? Sure though to be honest I can't pinpoint a possible 'visionary' from DHX studios, i'm afraid. Granted, it's probably because the studio is rarely given a chance to create their own shows (except for George of the Jungle which was created by Thiessen and apparently no one liked it. Funnily, that show aired along with Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends on the same network, CN, so it is kinda foreboding to see Faust, Thiessen, and co. work together a few years later on another network. Plus people from CN's Ed, Edd n' Eddy like Jim Miller and Raven then worked on FiM) so it's possible G5 will not need a prominent figure from CN, Disney, or whatever.
