You know what, I forgot about the Red Wizards adventure. Seems like a big FR adventure path is also likely.
D&D (2024) Where to next, WotC?

IMO, the "Red Wizards Campaign" they hinted at is probsvly going to be in the FRAG.

I forget, did they say that the Red Wizards campaign was for 2025 or 2026?

They specified that they were working on two storylines in 2025, one that featured Venger and another with the Red Wizards.
My peedicition is that the Starter Set will use Venger as the BBEG behind the goings on at the Keep on the Borderlands and the Caves of Chaos, and the FRAG will have a Red Wizards Campaign built in.

I've really enjoyed the anthology books and would love one for 2024 rules. Don't know what old adventures they could bring back but I'd be cool with anything 2005 and older.

Looks like we're headed toward another Magic: the Gathering-themed setting.
WotC has teased an upcoming Magic: The Gathering / Dungeons & Dragons crossover supplement. No info has been given other than a mention of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor and an art piece by Jesper Ejsing.
Lorwyn-Shadowmoor is a Magic: the Gathering plane. The official MtG page for it describes it as:
Lorwyn-Shadowmoor is a Magic: the Gathering plane. The official MtG page for it describes it as:
Lorwyn is an idyllic world where races of fable thrive in perpetual midsummer. Its dark reflection, Shadowmoor, exists in perpetual gloom, its citizens bitterly transformed and locked in a desperate battle for survival.
Lorwyn is the land where the sun never...

This is certainly planned, as it is a proven method to increase sales, but I think it definitely won't be a single book but the stuff will rather be spread to multiple books like in 3.5.

Nah, the 3.5 approach didn't work commercially, whereas the Xanathar's/Tasha's approach sold like gangbusters.
Wouldn't expect the next Xanathar's/Tasha's till 2027, though.

I am not sure you understood my reply. Lazybones asked about 2014 PHB subclasses which were not included in 2024 PHB, and guesses that there will be one book to include them all. It is certainly possible that all those 4 wizard subclasses and 3-4 (don't remember) cleric subclasses will be included in a single expansion book like XGtE/TCoE (together with entirely new subclasses), but my counterguess is that instead some of them will be released earlier in some other book (maybe one of the settings books) and some later on, for example to anticipate the re-release of some subclasses that may be in higher demand. It would be a bit like what happened in 3.5 when they gradually updated and released older prestige classes, but I certainly do not think that they would change their overall book release approach though, and start releasing more books per year.

I predict we get two adventures, one a campaign the other an anthology. Not that I think it will happen, but I think it's time to flip the paradigm and have the longer campaigns be updates of classics and the anthologies be original material. Their track record with these long adventures has been somewhat weak (and the ones considered the best, Curse of Strahd and ToA, and either remakes or heavily influenced by classic adventures). Personally, I'd like to see anthologies of 4-5 shorter adventures, that could be linked, and as additional ones are published a DM can mix and match adventures to form a campaign.
I think there will be two rules books, one a player options book (but I suspect the "Guide to Everything" titles will be replaced for the 2024 era) and one a DM-facing book with monsters and possibly other threats like traps and hazards. I think either book will be a mix of new and updated material, but it's hard to say what the ratio will be--at a guess I'd say 50-60% updated content. I don't necessarily think that will be an ongoing release pace, but I think there is high interest in updated material.
I think we will see a campaign setting release, which may be two books like the FR books this year. I suspect the next setting will be one we have seen before, but given that they are hiring a world builder I think in the future we will see brand new settings.
What that setting will be is hard to say; as much as I love Eberron, I cannot imagine we'll see it again after this year's release. A refresh or Ravenloft, Spelljammer, or Planescape are possibilities, but probably narrow ones given their lukewarm receptions. I also doubt we will see Greyhawk or Dragonlance as they aren't distinct enough from the Realms. Dark Sun would be a contender based on its unique style, but the sensitive subject matter of slavery is a very strong argument against it--unless they did something very unexpected like move the story ahead a century or so, perhaps after a slave revolt. Given the popularity of anime, a modified, culturally updated, renamed Oriental Adventures setting is a possibility--the Realms has changed a lot, but as far as I know there hasn't been much talk about what happened on the Kara-Tur side of the world. Or they could pull some MtG world out (having played Magic like twice in the last 30 years, I have no insight into what such a setting would be).
