With an exclusive article stating the box office success of Transformers: Bumblebee, Deadline states that Transformers: Bumblebee 2 is in the works.
Although we should take it with a grain of salt, Deadline has proven again and again that their statements on exclusive articles are actual facts rather than speculation.
“Helmed by Travis Knight, the well-received picture reboots the Transformers series with humor and an emotional connection that’s been fed by great word of mouth. There’s a sequel in development (might that mean a Bumblebee/Optimus Prime buddy movie?). Before that, there’s an animated movie in the works and future iterations of the overall Transformers series that may introduce new characters and bring others along.
With Bumblebee, producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura says, “We had many objectives (including) to bring a new set of families into the series, and that succeeded; in the after markets that will continue to succeed in a big way. Part of our obligation was to bring people back who had left the franchise or never experienced it which worked well… We are finding our way. Our intention was we wanted to please the core fans but also bring a new audience”.”

I share the sentiment.

I think the "Bumblebee 2" is just a way to indicate that they are continuing with these movies. @Music did a pretty good job of clarifying this a couple pages back:

I’m excited.
Though I feel Bumblebee suffers from being overrated in the same way that I feel Black Panther does, it definitely had more substance then the Bay movies before it(most of which were just pure noise).
Move aside the focus on Bee, give us more focus on the Transformers team has a whole and rechristen it a “Transformers” title.
And I’m in favor of a journey through the decades as well.

Jeez…
Not so fast now. I feel Bumblebee should just be a standalone movie. It wasn't bad but what else can we do with the character? I wanna see that cybertron movie though.

Alright everyone, let's keep this on target and talk about Bumblebee 2, instead of derailing this thread with a bunch of dumb nonsense. If you're not excited for a sequel, that's perfectly fine, but state it respectfully instead of being rude. There's no need for that.
That said, I'm super stoked for more from this version of Bumblebee. I hope that Knight comes back, but I'm sure there are also plenty of other great directors who could make a great movie with these characters. Personally, I hope it's set in the mid 90's.

I hope he gets to reprise his rolls.
