With a build of ffmpeg newer than 2nd Nov 2018, you can use the below command :

ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf tpad=stop_mode=clone:stop_duration=2 out.mp4

Audio is ignored. For older versions, see below

The overlay filter, by default, repeats the last frame of the overlay input over the base input if the former has ended but the latter hasn't. So, the key is to overlay a truncated version of the main video over the full-length stream, thus "extending" the last frame. There's a different and simpler way to do the above:

ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -filter_complex "[0]trim=0:N[hold];[0][hold]concat[extended];[extended][0]overlay" out.mp4

Where N is the duration of the extension, in seconds.
