Future Continuous expresses an activity that will be in progress in the future. It is used in a similar context as Present Continuous, except in the future. The context Future Continuous is usually used in, is when one action will interrupt another action in the future, or when something will be happening for a certain amount of time in the future.
Example: When you come back, we will be eating dinner.
* Future continuous is also sometimes used when you are talking about something that will definitely happen in the future, in a context unrelated to ideas such as intention, decision, arrangement, or willingness.
Example: The plane will be arriving any minute now.
