Anyone know if Lego will make new Thomas And Friend Duplo? The first sets were from 2005-2009 and I can't find any information about the future of this licences

For commercial reasons, TLG doesn't usually publish plans for their future lines. We can sometimes make an educated guess, but we can rarely know for sure.– KramiiJan 15, 2014 at 16:16

I know, but there's always small leak about that kind of stuff :)– DarkPixelJan 16, 2014 at 13:19

The Thomas and Friends license is currently with Mega Bloks (as of January 2014). For now, that means Lego is not planning on producing any new sets.
However, it is not unheard of for licenses to switch. The Marvel Superheros license, for example, was with Mega Bloks as well until Lego took it over last year:

So there's hope for LEGO to get Star Trek. You know, after Star Wars ends.... yeah...– gevJan 15, 2014 at 19:47

There's a bit of the history here - however I'm sure there was also some crossover with LEGO and MegaBloks, although that may have been more at the retailer level than officially. Jan 19, 2014 at 22:58
