I'm pretty sure I remember that they do plan to continue it, but there was a time jump or something and they wanted a break?
You'd probably know better if you read the books though, but we very well might see more on TV even if it's a new cast.
The show ran into issues with distribution rights. SyFy didn’t want to keep funding it because the views were from next day streaming rather than live broadcast. SyFy made less (or nothing?) from the streams.
Amazon bought the rights and funded the final season, but didn’t continue the because the viewership wasn’t huge and they were funding Rings of Power instead.
at least that’s my vague recollection from 8 years agot
Even the author was saying it's a pause at the time and not canceled outright.
It's a decades long jump to the next book, so they didn't want to do it right away. Amazon might have canceled it in the normal sense, but that wasn't the whole story.
Granted that doesn't mean Amazon or Alcon or whoever else is going to take it up, no one commits to doing another season 5 or 10 or more years from now, but the intention is to continue it.
