Quantic Dream, Heavy Rain developer, is not interested in making a sequel. At the BAFTA ceremony, David Cage, the studio boss, revealed that the developers next game will cover much newer territory. They are interested in making another game which is in the same nature, but not a sequel.
David Cage says:

We created the genre.
We own the genre, and we want to show that Heavy Rain was not a coincidence or a lucky shot - that it was really something that makes sense and that we can build on.
But at the same time I didn't want to make a sequel. I made that very clear before knowing whether the game would be a success or a failure, because I want to show that it's really a genre. Which means that you can use a similar drama to tell any type of story in any genre and in any style.
So, we are going to explore different directions. Still very dark, still for adults, but completely different from Heavy Rain. We want to satisfy our fans, but we want to surprise them too. That's our challenge.
We continue to explore how we can go further with interactive drama, working on emotion and interactive storytelling for a mature audience, but with a very different story and a different approach.

In addition, Quantic Dreams revealed back in June of least year that they were working on two separate titles.

Heavy rain was probably the best ps3 exclusive ever, sad to see it's not getting a sequel but hopefully the will produce something similar.
