Blizzard generally releases announcements about new expansions about 4-5 weeks before release. Blizzard has also stated that for 2017 we will see three 130 card expansions and no adventure releases this year. The second release in a year generally happens in late July or August. So we should expect an announcement trailer between late June and mid July.
I recently read about a Lich King theory because Blizzard, according to the source, has trademarked something as Return of the Lich King. In addition they say that last months and this months card backs are both related to the lore of the Lich King. Others aswell say that the last tavern brawl with kel'thuzad summoned Undead to the board. So this would reinforce the guessing of a Lich King based Expansion. The latest card creations in this forum also had overwhelming Northrend themes with lots of cool ideas, seems like there is quiet a demand. I myself am hoping for a Lich King theme! Never played any WoW or Warcraft but getting into the Lore thru playing Hearthstone and listening on Youtube, makes my head go crazy with all the cool (legendary) cards that could be introduced.
Some have hypothesized Dalaran, on the flimsy evidence that there are mystical runes on the second slot of Blizzard's Year of the Mammoth promo page. I don't necessarily agree with that, but I also don't think it's time for Lich King just yet.
I personally have been expecting something snowy and icy for the third set of the year, and that might fit with the recent trademark evidence, centering on Northrend generally or Icecrown specifically. I really don't think they'll be using the Lich King for the second expansion; it's more likely they'd pick something less directly related to the Mammoth theme for the second, then bring it home with a stronger connection in the third.

Current theory is that it will be "Return of the Lich King" because Blizzard just trademarked that.
Except that they didn't. Fake news.
Well the company that bought the site for oldgolds,Gad,Ung bought now a returnofthelichking.com site or something like that and its Year of the mammoth and you can find mammoths in northrend, AND you can see DK runes on the next exp pic
I'll give you that the same privacy shield that registered oldgods.com and ungoro.com became registrant of returnofthelichking.com in February.
Wrath of the Lich king is the expansion that I loved and where I tanked the shit out of everything as a protection paladin, if the rumors are true then I am going to jizz literally my pants.
But I guess that in the end of the month we will get the teases of the next expansion
gotta start saving faster! only at 2k gold and maybe only 8 more weeks until expansion! :( I need an average of 110 gold per day to have about 8k on launch. i havent been playing nearly enough lately

I believe they will announce the second expansion in late June to be able to release it on August.
I think we're getting a Darkmoon Faire related expansion. Why? No clue - just throwing it out there!
i hope in icecrown...
I'm sure they will announce when they plan to make an announcement.
every time see any activity on a next expansion thread someone goes and locks it. Anyone have any latest theories on the next expansion?

Maybe they'll add a Death Knight Hero. That would be grand. Hero power could be a random effect between frost, blood, and undead.
how do you get so much gold? I try to earn every day, but I spend it all on the arena and lose it all, even though i win 4 wins on average
