I'll throw in my thoughts...

The Survey Corps are going to defeat the homeland and break out of the world within the walls and Eren will use the coordinate to destroy all of the titans. They'll go out into the world and be shocked to see that the rest of the world is a technological utopia living in peace (with titan shifters doing all manual labor such as construction or agriculture). Eren and whoever remains of the main cast are apprehended and informed that the world within the walls was basically an elaborate open air prison and that all the people living within the walls are too predisposed towards selfishness and violence to be allowed to live among the rest of humanity. The people within the world within the walls, before being imprisoned there, were given a gene to be able to be vulnerable to mental manipulation and that the first king and Reiss family were basically the wardens of the jail and the homelanders had a sworn duty as the jail's 'backup plan' but rebelled because that duty was too much of a burden after 100 years.

From here I can see it going a couple ways, maybe Eren with memories witnesses who the people in the walls really are and decides to take up the mantle of 'warden' of the world within the walls.

Also, possible twist... it becomes revealed that the planet that AOT takes place on isn't Earth but essentially a planet that is just a prison.
