This is according to the final panel of the D&D Celebration 2020.
They don't say what settings, but if you look what is going on its easy to figure out 2 of them.
Ravenloft is obvious from the last two UA subclasses and the fact that we know another product with Vistani are coming.
WotC loves MtG Setting book crossovers both for synergy and because it allows them to reuse alot of art they spend a fortune on, and the Synergies don't get bigger then the Forgotten Realms which is getting a Magic the Gathering standard legal card set in Summer 2021. BG3 should also be creating piles of new Forgotten Realms fans among generation Zed and Millenials. Plus FR is the most popular D&D setting, their money maker, and it still doesn't even have a complete useful map of Faerun, never mind a setting guide to the Forgotten Realms.
They are also doing more D&D MtG collabrations, so this mostly means more MtG settings as well, perhaps the Ravenloft book will cover both Ravenloft and Innistrad, maybe a Setting book for Zendikar in march 2021 (hypothetically).
More accessories are coming.
They want to do new catagories of products such as Adventure Anthologies to help mentor new DMGUILD talent with the goal of adding them to their Freelancer pool.
They also want to do some experimental products.
They also want more products targeted to casual gamers.
And instead it's Ravenloft which I dislike because the D&D Game Engine is certainly not suited to horror, MtG which has no place within D&D and which (as far as I can see) almost no one plays and the FR
You just made three very subjective statements and I think you may find that your opinion is the minority opninion on at least some of them.
Ravenloft is a given at this point and I will buy it.
I HATE the MtG setting books and in my opinion they are a waste of paper, but I know there are people that like them.
As far as what I would like to see, Planescape, Darksun and Dragonlance. Planescape for the planar information that would be in it. Darksun for some of the races and classes (subclasses) that should be in the book and Dragonlance for mostly nostalgia but also for potential races and subclasses that would fit the setting.
I think Planescape would the the most useful book just because this edition really needs an updated Manual of the Planes in my opinion. Also it is just a really cool setting.
Edit: Also the Dragonlance setting was definitely nothing new, but it was beautifully crafted with lots of extra bits that made the setting feel more real. The songs, recipes and poems were a nice touch. Of course there were a lot of issues with people wanting to "recreate" the books, that part sucks.
Hell, I just want to be able to do a deep 5e canon lore dive into the other planes. If Planescape will give me that among other things, then I will be a happy man.
not really excited about ravenloft or magic the gathering world truth is i will probably buy it to suppoert dnd beyond.
Would be quite excited about Dragonlance (mostly for the races and monsters though honestly there are neat stories to be told with some tweaking), Darksun could introduce a psi class that is properly different from other magical classes without being a stapled everything class. I would like to see relatively weak abilities with more uses maybe ki point like based. I really want to see a spelljammer type universe. though i suspect I will never see it.
I watched the panel too and I don't think that MtG is an old setting for them. More in the lines of Dark Sun (maybe it will bring the Psion class that sp many people would like to see as a standalone class, who knows), Spelljammer (remember the picture of one of the work places in the WotC offices?), Ravvenlost (pretty probable I'd say) or something with Sigil.
They gave away not the slightest hint of what it could be so don't give up on the setting that you want yet.
We'll know soon enough.
Furthermore, they will continue to bring out MtG books as that brings in more players from Mtg to DnD which is a good thing in my book. I don't play in these settings but two of my players really love it and the subclasses are cool and can be played everywhere mostly. I play a Paladin Oath of Glory at the moment and I really enjoy it. She's a beast :)
Also, the more money they make the more books they can do or spend money on better art or on a "good" dnd movie for once but I highly doubt that considering their track record. :).
I feel like Ravnica is super under-rated as a setting, but I wasn't all that intrigued by Theros so I kinda get what people mean about the MTg settings. Though I feel kind of the same way about Dragonlance that most would probably feel if they announced a Dominara mtg setting, it's kinda just more generic fantasy and we have FR for that.
I'd really like to see Planescape announced, or at least some expanded planar content.
I really hope this is Ravenloft, Dark Sun, and Planescape. There are a few others I want (Spelljammer, Dragonlance, etc), but those three are the main ones.

Please check out my homebrew, I would appreciate feedback:
A "Ravenloft" Campaign setting is very likely. When they announced the revised Curse of Strahd they said that the Vistani would appear in two upcoming books. The last UA had elements that are very thematic for the setting and mentioned more than one Ruler from the Domains of Dread.
That leaves 2 settings. With the addition of Psionics in TCoE, I would put money on a Darksun book as being one of them. I really can't imagine there not being a Planescape book in the future, HOWEVER, there are have been a couple of references to Spelljammer helms in recent books as well so who knows.

No matter how much I love spelljammer, I would be totally surprised if it was coming anytime soon. I think that the easter eggs in recent D&D adventures have been just easter eggs. They're not meant to say Spelljammer is coming, more allude to the setting in general, as it has some pretty wacky stuff that they've been featuring recently:
Nautiloid and gnome ceremorphs and squidlings in Rime of the Frostmaiden. There's a Squid Ship and Mind Flayer Pirate Captain, miniature giant space hamsters, Stardock, a UFO, and a spelljamming helm in Dungeon of the Mad Mage. There's also a minor hint to spelljammer in Descent into Avernus.

To be fair, Spelljammer is packed full of "wacky stuff", but I don't disagree. I am just saying that off all the settings, that one has had a large number of references as of late.

I mostly agree with that, but one could argue that Descent into Avernus is a major reference to Planescape.

i want innistrad more than any other setting. ravenloft fullfills the same thing BUT!!! i don't consider it a setting. as from my understanding like strahd its just small pockets of land. only good for running THAT specific campaign against 1 darklord n nothing else. where's innistrad is a complete setting with many campaign possibilities
if ravenloft is not like what ive describe then let me know please!
the one thing i want more than anything out of either setting is better rules for pcs bieng vampires & lycanthropy!!

Excited for more MtG stuff. Ravenloft should be interesting too.

What about Mystara? That'd be out of nowhere, but we can dream.
Wizard (Gandalf) of the Tolkien Club
More Mtg possibly? Zendikar? Zendikar would e awesome! They would need kor and merfolk in the book.

It is supposedly 3 classic D&D settings. That means that none of these would be an MtG setting. Thankfully.
She/Her Player and Dungeon Master
Are they working on 3 books that are in a classical setting or are they working on 3 classical settings with books for them.
For instance rhyme of the frost maiden is a classical setting book. So would a seafaring book set in February.
They could easily be writing 3 books in on world if its three setting books but if its 3 worlds I'm Much more excited.
A "Ravenloft" Campaign setting is very likely. When they announced the revised Curse of Strahd they said that the Vistani would appear in two upcoming books. The last UA had elements that are very thematic for the setting and mentioned more than one Ruler from the Domains of Dread.

My guesses would be Ravenloft, Dark Sun, and either Greyhawk or Dragonlance.
