Yeah but you're missing the point: Once the show was greenlit, they knew the ending.
They've always known the beginning, middle and ending. It's just been a matter of viewership (i.e. time) and popularity that determined how detailed their story would become.
If the show had only two seasons, they still knew the ending, they just would have had less time to fill in the back stories.
And yes, sometimes you'll cast an actor that was supposed to be a bit part but he or she is so good that they grow into a primary role. That's not unusual.
