We know of two thus far:
1. Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse
2. Critical Role: Call From the Neverdeep
There will be at least 2 setting books in 2022, as well, but we don't know what they are.

I changed my title after reading his response. I wasn't specific enough I guess.

Well actually we do know at least one of them is Spelljammer thanks to the UA, the other might be Darksun or Planescape.

Nah, one is going to be Dragonlance. Gotta synergize with the novel's release.

Honestly I am vexed that people believe this. I'm not saying you're definitely wrong, but... why...?
Dragonlance isn't a setting that can offer very much. It's a very middle-of-the-road, poorly world-built (sorry but it is), generic fantasy setting, which doesn't offer any particularly exciting new vistas for D&D, doesn't feature stuff that appeals to large groups of players in 2021, is based on books that were last popular with people just little older than me, so 40+, and thus 13% of the playerbase at max. It doesn't even have any new classes, or really any races that aren't already pretty well-dealt-with.
It would also require a rework to get rid of problematic setting elements, and setting elements rules-incompatible with 5E, which would annoy the very people you'd apparently be targeting.
Also, you know what WotC gets by boosting the sales of the new Dragonlance novel? Nothing. Zero. Zilch. They are not the publisher, and they do not benefit from it.
Spelljammer is near-certain, but I will be genuinely surprised, at this point, if Dragonlance is one of the "4 classic settings". Also pretty disappointed because what a goddamn waste.

I crit!
@Ruin Explorer WotC did get a share of the advance for the books so I can imagine they'll get a share of the profits if only via licensing fees. I doubt they don't have some kind of profit percentage.
