The team over at DHX is currently celebrating at a series wrap-up party for Friendship is Magic, and Big Jim has announced over on Twitter that production on actual episodes is over in just one week. After all these years animating, writing, and exploring the pony universe, they are finally done.
Where Hasbro will go after this is still a mystery. Considering most of their animation is moving in-house and Youtube focused, it wouldn't be surprising at all if they kept is going for a bit longer with some shorts while grinding away at generation 5, but for now, DHX is officially out of pone.
Of course, fandomside we are still truckin' along. Keep making pony stuff and this madness isn't going anywhere!
Thanks to N1907 for the heads up.
