There has been a few objects in our own solar system that have been discovered that would have been called planets, but the definition of the word planet has been changed. Thats why Pluto is no longer called a planet, because then there would have to be many more objects to be called planets as well. Pluto is now called a dwarf planet, along with Eris and Ceres.
The term "dwarf planet" was adopted in 2006

The so called 10th planet mentioned above 2003UB313 is the largest of the dwarf planets named Eris

I'm sure that somewhere new planets are in the process of being formed. As far as this solar system goes, no, there are no new planets.
