They've been anticipating the end each season for a few years now.

They thought it would end when Showtime cancelled it after season 5, but then SCIFI picked it up.

Then, later, the makers were going to finish with season 7, do a movie, and then concentrate on Atlantis. But, as it got picked up for an 8th season, they turned the movie idea into the season 7 "Lost City" finale.

Then, thinking season 8 would be the last one, they tied up most storylines in that (Go'auld, Replicators, etc). Yet it was then picked up for a 9th season, causing them to give it a fresh start with some new characters & enemies.

It's already had various reprieves. It had to end sometime. Besides, it's on its 10th season! I think the makers have said for a while that they want to carry on with a movie(s) after the show ended.
