the short-medium term future is electric, there are a lot of advances to be made in magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters. Long term, maybe the fusion meme will pan out. Princeton and UW are working on it from what I've seen.

I don't think we will ever see NERVA style fission rockets again, NASA has doubled down on SEP.

Electric-boosted NTRs seem to be the go to engine while we figure out more advanced stuff like fusion or nuclear salt water rockets
