The future continuous:

As with all continuous tenses, we use the future continuous to talk :

  • about an action that will be in progress before or after a time in the future.

ex:  I will be driving home at 10:30 tomorrow morning.

                                                                     will be driving

                                                                                   10:30

-------------I---------------------------[~~~~~~~~X~~~~~~~~]---------

                now                                            future

  • about an action that will happen as a result of an arrangement or normal routine

ex: -The president will be having dinner with the local VIPS (this is a part of the arrangements for his visit)

      - I will be seeing Emma at the gym tonight (they always go on tuesdays. This is the result of their normal routine.)
