‘The Seven Deadly Sins’ (‘Nanatsu no Taizai’) was one of the first forays of Netflix in the world of anime and one of the series that has been known to remain among the most watched on the streaming platform for years. Although the main story was closed years ago, the plot has a long way to go and it has already been confirmed that the sequel to the main series will also get its own anime adaptation.
A movie and a new anime ahead
Nakaba Suzuki’s manga ‘Four Knights of the Apocalypse’ (‘Mokushiroku no Yonkishi’) began publication just a year ago with the task of continuing the story after the end of ‘The Seven Deadly Sins’. The sequel takes place several years later and this time the protagonist is a boy named percival, who discovers that his destiny is to be part of a group of four knights. So far so good, but according to a prophecy these knights will one day destroy the world.
With seven volumes of material behind him, it has just been confirmed that ‘Four Knights of the Apocalypse’ will also have its own anime adaptation. For now, no further details such as the anime studio or a possible release window have been revealed, so as soon we will have to wait for 2023. As Netflix already distributed the first anime, it is very possible that it also wants to get the international rights for its sequel.

As more news comes in ‘Four Knights of the Apocalypse’what we do know for sure is that the main anime has several sequels in the works and the first one to air will be ‘The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh’. The story will be divided into two films that will come directly to Netflix and that follows tristanthe son of Meliodas and Elizabeth, the protagonists of ‘The Seven Deadly Sins’.
Tristan has inherited the power of the goddesses and can heal with them, but he cannot fully control his demon clan powers and ends up hurting those around him. To protect the family from him, Tristan decides to travel to Edinburgh Castle.
Nor has a release date been specified for ‘The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh’,** but in principle it is expected that at least the first part will arrive during 2022**. It also seems that the anime movies will serve as a link to the new series, so we have to be very attentive to see if we have more details.
