Yes, the next season will start with some Waterdeep intrigue, then move into UnderMountain. Halastar is definitely going to be featured. I don't know any more about it yet.

I'm wondering how they will treat UnderMountain in 5E

At the edge of madness, he will show no sadness
Never broken, he'll be back for more
Proven under fire, over trench and wire
No fear of death, he's unshakeable
Forged for the war, he's unbreakable

They're going to treat it like crap if they think they can detail 23 levels of Undermountain and all of Skullport inside of a mere 256 pages. See my notes and details on the other thread.
Basically, if every one of those 256 pages consisted of nothing except room descriptions, they'd still only have 11 pages per level, which is absurd. Remember (quoting myself):
Original RoU - 168 pages to cover 3 levels.
5E imitation - 256 pages to cover 23 levels.
They're going to detail over 7 times as many levels, with only an additional 88 pages (50%)? Yeah, sure. With 2-sentence room write ups and micro-script maybe.

And...(this is important)The original Ruins of Undermountain took 85 pages to detail 70 core rooms and 55 areas of interest for a total of 125 rooms, or just about 1.5 rooms per page. Keep in mind - in that original boxed set, the areas of interest were tiny tidbits of info, not truly developed rooms, and took up a total of 13 pages to detail 55 areas of interest. That comes to 0.25 pages per room. If we take that out, the core rooms alone came to 70 rooms across 72 pages, or about a room per page.
