Are We Getting Another New Historical Next Year?

I just had a crazy theory. You guys know how Courtney and Claudie were both not in American Girl's development pipeline for that long? Well, that had me thinking... what if American Girl was planning to release the historical they were planning on releasing before all of this stuff happened soon? Maybe as soon as... next year?
Let me explain. Back in the late 2010's, American Girl was working on a historical character, but they decided to make Courtney instead after the rise of 80s nostalgia in pop culture such as Stranger Things. Then, right when Courtney released, Brit Bennett tweeted about wanting to write a historical character, which led to Claudie. Since Claudie is out now, however, there must be someone else AG's historical team has been working on as Courtney and Claudie speedran the historical development timeline.... maybe from the 1800s, a decade AG's done before, or even the 90's? We'll have to see, but we might be getting another historical sooner than expected...
I love how Rebecca looks so if they look anything like her they'd be a hit for our house for sure! they still need more options for Wellie Wisher dolls.. not all brunettes are tan etc.
I was kind of hoping they would be released sooner rather than later lol but this year is already about over! I think AG should bring back some old GOTYs, like anniversaries of such, or do a massive email poll to see who was the most popular GOTY so far, and re-release her, and/or at least re-release the first 1-3 to give new collectors a fighting chance to own them.
it seems a bit too soon for a 90s doll (even though twins would be awesome!!), but i'd love more 1800s girls! :D

Here's something for anyone whose interested. Don't worry, Sydney, she mentioned you and your website and credited you after what happened.
A 90s historical sounds amazing and I will definitely get her/them (I have seen the leaks suggesting Nicki and Isabel will be 90s dolls). However, I am surprised that they are coming so soon! Julie was released 32 years after 1976 and Courtney was released 34 years after 1986, so I thought they were keeping up a 30-35 year gap between a historical doll’s year and her release. I was not expecting a 90s doll for at least 10 years after Courtney. However, I am definitely not complaining. Waiting 10 years for a 90s doll would be torture!
