Like others said, we dont know what the new IP is. It could be toys, comics, or something. For now, I'm slightly leaning towards a new show because Hasbro is really making it big with the MLP franchise (still growing profits from the franchise) and in a way, maybe they want to expand their relatively young network with something for older girls (i.e. There's two Transformers cartoons, one for younger boys and another for older)

And there's no real reason why two shows can't exist with one another or FIM gets replaced. FiM and its innocence can stay and the new show can be geared more towards older audiences and also exist along side FiM (if the new show has the rating of TV-Y7, it's the normal age rating for most cartoons, especially on Cartoon Network. Powerpuf Girls, Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack, etc.).
