There's barely any show where the creators know how it will end, save for maybe a small handful. The most you usually get is creators who vaguely say they had an "idea" of what the last shots would be. Hell, they'd originally planned to kill off Jesse at the end of the first season of Breaking Bad. Tuco was meant to be the big bad guy in season 2, but the actor wasn't available so they killed him off and made up the character of Gus (and even he was meant to have a smaller role at first). They only plan out these things so much (which isn't much). That's why they have giant rooms of writers every season to "make it up as they go along" lol. And usually even those plans are forced to evolve so much over the years that, by the end, they don't even bear a passing resemblance to what they originally were.
And I don't know why it's any surprise that a lead actor would be ignorant of the series they're in. Have you ever watched a Comic Con panel and seen the amount of clueless answers almost every actor from every show, movie, and video game gives to every question? It's a miracle to find any who seem like they've seen even an episode of the series they're staring in. Let alone one who appears to be a fan of the story. Most just talk about how much fun they had on the set, what it's like in so-and-so location, etc. If it's not their line, they don't seem to care 9 times out of 10 (and even then it seems like they don't care all that much).
