2019 is going to be an unfortunate blast. Two Snicket books, one Handler, ASOUE season 3, plus I expect we'll see some sort of celebration, given it being twenty years of ASOUE and Snicket! Everyone looking forward to it?

When you put it that way, 2019 does sound like it's going to be one of the most packed years for this forum's favourite author in quite a long time - though I should point out that it seems increasingly likely that we'll see ASoUE Season 3 this year.

How many details have we on these books? What I have seen looks very fragmentary and uncertain - can we be sure that they will actually all appear?

Difficult to pin down, but often they're broadly correct long in advance and then become more specifically correct as time passes by. Once things start to show up on marketing listings, that generally means that the details are sufficiently locked-in with the publisher for them to issue such information in the first place. Poison for Breakfast's delay of a year is an outlier which I suspect was due to outside circumstances, as it was even beginning to receive official promotion; Bottle Grove has gone through a bunch of mysterious title revisions but the fact that it exists and is due out early next year hasn't varied; Swarm of Bees has accumulated enough information to indicate solidity. Generally, marketing listings aren't fake; occasionally mistaken, but you get a sense over time of what looks like a mistake and what doesn't. I wouldn't put too much stock in specific release months, but all three of those books seem likely to hit their 2019 release dates.

I do think it's highly likely all three books shall be released next year. Now that the Netflix show has been filmed and is all out of the way, I'm glad Handler's getting back to writing novels. That way they're celebrating all of Snicket's main works - novels, picture books, and ASOUE.
As for the series, I highly think they may split series 3 - up to TPP this year, and then TE next year. The finale will make more impact if it's stand-alone, plus allows them to get the kids back suitably aged for the Chapter Fourteen scene. Failing that, I'd like to see Netflix do The Unauthorized Autobiography.
