I don't mean to sound unrealistically optimistic here, Doopliss, but allow me to correct you on some points.

1) Like PowerStar says, the fact season 5 hasn't been announced doesn't mean there won't be one. Hasbro's will more than likely wait to see how well season 4 does before they renew it.

2) Backstory ≠ end of series. In many cases (at least among what I've seen), backstory means the series still has plenty to tell and expand on.

3) Like backstory, spin-off ≠ end of series. Sometimes a show will air alongside its spin-off -- Family Guy and The Cleveland Show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, Once Upon a Time and the upcoming Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, etc.
