I would not have believed it if there hadn't be the alleged "leak" from Bones a few months ago. Wednesday, Anime News Network confirmed that there is going to be a second Fullmetal Alchemist series. I repeat, Fullmetal Alchemist 2!! According to the article, the series was announced on the just-released volume 20 of the FMA manga.
The most common rumor is that it will be something like Hellsing Ultimate. Hellsing had a short anime series, but the manga is still going. It was so popular that they made a second series, Hellsing Ultimate, which followed the manga very, very closely, and is still ongoing. They don't air it on TV, they just animate a block of it whenever they feel like it. Most Fullmetal fans are hoping the new series to pick up at about volume 7 of the manga and on, (about up to episode 26 or so, minus Wrath and Sloth, plus the stuff with Greed) where the anime got really different from the manga.
Volume 17 of the manga is set to be released in America in Ocotober.
