I´m going to quote a contributor down below:

"The initial plan was for 65 episodes (26+26+13), which is the typical minimum needed for cartoon syndication. Since FiM exceeded expectations, it was probably renewed for more seasons."

So, from this quote I can say: If season 3 turns out to have a great final episode (Magical Mystery Cure) then the series will continue since it´s gotten so much more popular over 3 years.
