Will the premier league be in hdr when it returns on the 17th

No. HDR applies only to three Sky Nature documentaries to download, and certainly not any broadcast content. There will be big announcements when football is available in HDR.

Does anyone know what the latest is on this - there was some media coverage last year (for example https://www.whathifi.com/news/sky-will-start-broadcasting-live-hdr-sport-in-2021) about the Premier League being in HDR in 2021, is that still the plan?

Yes, for the 2021-22 season.

The first foray into live HDR sport via Sky Q is to be the Olympics - in conjunction with Eurosport.

I think you'll find that the Eurosport deal for coverage of the Olympics in the UK doesn't apply until 2022 so the coverage will be from the BBC, who have the rights until 2022.  I seem to remember a Sky press release that said the first HDR live sport would be the Olympics in conjunction with the BBC.
