forthcoming

/fɔːθˈkʌmɪŋ/noun

A thing that is on its way or about to happen.

Example sentences

  • The publisher's catalog lists all of the season's forthcomings.
  • Fans are already excited about the studio's forthcomings for next year.

As an adjective it has two useful senses: a forthcoming book is due out soon, and a forthcoming person answers questions openly, so 'not very forthcoming' means evasive.
