Asked in a situation where you reach a point of no return or you have surpassed a dangerous obstacle and have survived the ordeal. 'What now' is also used as in,'where does this leave us', in terms of re-questioning your relationship status with someone.

It is a question in most movie wherein the answer is "we wait". I'm sure you have heard or encountered this phrase being asked by the actor or some supporting actor to someone else especially in movies wherein the main characters are planning on something big... whether an escape, a rescue or whatever.

Example:
Your s/o just broke up with you and your family is ignoring you and you have depression and you are stuck in your house because of Covid
You:
What now?
