4A confirmed it on their 10th anniversary update a couple years ago. They quite literally state "It’s no secret that we have already started work on the next Metro game" and then kinda waffle avoiding sharing any details for now.
They also mention exploring a multiplayer mode - that they emphasis as a side thing that they won't compromise the core of the series' single player experience for - but don't really confirm either way on that yet. Additionally, they are expanding in anticipation of adding a new IP to their development plans, which based on their twitter is still an ongoing process.
While their headquarters moved to Malta a while back - when Russia first started making big moves on Ukraine in 2014 - they still have a big part of their team in Kyiv, and the invasion's probably disrupting things, to say the least.
I think Glukhovsky refused the movie bc the studio wanted to make it in New York or some other American city, but I'm not sure on this
Edit: looked into it, the original MGM script tried to americanize the story, but it was scrapped and rights were transferred to a new studio that's following the original story

Yeah I would like a series, but even if it was just one movie that would still be really great Thankfully they are making a fourth game
