I think the real follow up to Kepler is Plato from ESA. With Kepler there was a step change from like 400 known exoplanets to 4000. I hope the next step change comes from Plato to kick it up another order of magnitude. And hopefully it lasts 8 years to get multiple transits of true Sun-Earth-analogue-systems.
