While not a kid's show, it is on a kid's network, and is being told like a show, not a slasher film. People may die, but it won't be for the sake of showing people dying. They'll all have a reason to die and in the end everything will work out. There may be a mystery or new plot point introduced like the missing sixteen hours, but they aren't going to end it with a shot of a bunch of kids blown apart on the ground.

Out of universe, not really, yes it may end but there's also evidence for renewal. Nothing is as certain as the negative worldview from a pessimist.
