Not sure if 2 are due this year and another 3 next year, or it could be no more this year and 5 next.

3 were due this year, and 6 in 2021.

None of the 3 new ones have even flown yet, so I highly doubt all 3 will be here by close of play 2020.

I suspect they might do a split delivery of 4 and 5 next year, but who knows whether they will be able to recover enough in the construction schedule to bring it all back on track.

There's also the possibility they may try and bring a few new ones over before 617sqn are deployed on HMS QE next year.
