You can:
— Watch Magia Record, spin-off story. There are some bits of it in the movie, but not that much explicit.
— Watch Rebellion, the other 2 movies are basically 'recaps' of the main 12 episodes.
— Read Wraith Arc. Now, I haven't finished it yet but it explains what happened in the ending with more extension. At least, that's as far as of volume 1.

In my experience, I've watched Magia Record just to have another series to watch, then read volume 1 of Wraith Arc (must be noted that I'm buying it physically and the license in my country goes up to volume 2 atm) and finally Rebellion aka movie 3. If you really want more of Madoka, I highly recommend to check out the spin-off mangas since some of them are a nice read. As for me, I'd recommend Wraith Arc and Homura Tamura (a comedy 4-kouma where Homura ends up in some weird timelines. Imo worth for the laughs and wholesomess).

Only you can save yourself.
I only know what I know, I guess?

Just watch the 3rd movie cause it's the continuation to the series. A 4th movie has been announced as well, which probably is a sequal too

The third movie is the only thing that you have to see next if you only want the continuation of the series. Though I recommend you read Mahou Shoujou Madoka Magica A Different Story if you liked Mami and Kyoko and want some more content involving them.

Movie 3 and Magia Record (which I think is better than the OG series, but the movie is the best).
The right mindset when watching an anime is hoping that it will break your top 10
