The second "será" would be just a repetition, and the sentence would mean "What will be?" or "What will happen?".
I've seen in Google both "what will be/happen?" and "what will it be/happen?".  |
I agree with Rusty's clarification: "lo que será, será" = "what will be, will be" understood as: if something is meant to happen, it will happen.
