There will be a new trilogy for Shepard because a lot of people are willing to pay for it and it's easier to just extend the current story into a new story arc and make a new sequel/trilogy than it is to instead, make a new story/universe for new unproven game. Since Bioware has already killed off Shepard once and resurrect him somehow, people/EA would expect Bioware to resurrect Shepard a second time.

Technically they killed him twice, if you got the bad ME2 ending... and in the same game. They really have issues with Shepard.
It's arrived! Bwahahaha! I take back everything bad I said about Play.

Believe you me, the gameplay is exceptional, but with a horrible ending I just don't know what to think of this.

I meant Play.com - where I bought the game from - not gameplay
However, even having read the descriptions of the endings, I'm quite happy with them. Whether or not I'll think the same when I actually experience them, I don't know, but for now it's fine. Maybe that comes from my expecting - even wanting - a bad outcome even with the good ending.
I'm sure there will definitely be another Mass Effect, not with Shepard but with someone else. There is no way Bioware will let this cash cow die.
I wouldn't care if the ME franchise made them lose money, I want more
