We don't really know. It is possible that there may never be another one.
Explanation:
We can see some trends and cycles in history, but that does not always result in either a clear or accurate prediction of future events.
An "Ice Age" requires some global-scale events related to the energy balance between the earth and the sun. Why - and maybe more importantly, when - the past events occurred may not occur again. Certainly, with the current concerns over "Global Warming" those who believe that it is primarily human-induced have the means to prevent an ice age from ever happening again.
