From all indications the two new films together will be telling a single story.

It was one of the first big movies to have to close down due to the pandemic, as it was getting ready to film in Italy just as that nation entered lockdown.
Mission: Impossible 7 became an absolute marathon of a film production. Back when it was first announced that Mission: Impossible 7 and Mission: Impossible 8 were both coming out, and would be filmed one after the other, nobody was quite expecting making movies to become so complex.
