Fans have been crafting theories for a while about a potential Baldur's Gate title in development, with most fantasizing about the game being done by Larian Studios, and then Brian Fargo tweeted about it. So let's untangle this info mess.
Considering the mass success Larian Studios had with Divinity: Original Sin and Divinity: Original Sin 2, it's no wonder that fans hoped they would be the studio behind the next Baldur's Gate title. Unfortunately, this will not happen as Larian Studios have confirmed that they are not working on a Baldur's Gate title and they didn't purchase the IP in order to work on such a game. On top of that, the studio's full attention is on Project Gustav at the moment.
The fact that they weren't working on Baldur's Gate 3 threw many fans in despair as they gave up hope they would see another entry in their beloved franchise. This may not be the case though, as Brian Fargo tweeted that he " ".
To connect the dots for gamers that might not remember the ancient history that happened some 35 to 20 years ago, Brian Fargo is one of the founders of Interplay, which had a subsidiary named Black Isle Studios that happened to be the developer of the original Baldur's Gate.

Still, there is no official confirmation from any studio about them working on Baldur's Gate 3, so any guesses and derived info should be taken with a grain of salt.
