Season 3 wouldn't be all new characters. There would be new characters, but all the old ones are still in. Nodoka makes a cameo, and I'm not sure if Sawako ever appears, but given how the anime likes to basically use the manga as a storyboard and really add to the story while basing it on the manga, I could see Nodoka getting more screen time, and maybe even a Sawako cameo.

And the movie, as well as the episode where they get their passports, heavily foreshadowed a second movie, one that would follow another grad trip once Azusa graduates, following season 3.

If Kakifly doesn't make any more mangas, making a season 3 anime, followed by another movie now that they'd all be graduated would be a perfect way to end the series, and actually feel like an ending, rather than the ending-to-the-current-chapter type ending we have now.
