The fifth season of ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ (Nanatsu no Taizai) has finally arrived on Netflix. However, many are perplexed as to why there are just 12 episodes available rather than the standard 24.
‘Seven Deadly Sins is one of Netflix’s most popular anime series, and fans were overjoyed when the first half of season 5 premiered on June 28, 2021.
While fans should be relieved that the remaining episodes will be available shortly, another issue quickly arises: Will there be a sixth season?
Will There Be Seven Deadly Sins Season 6?
While a sixth season of ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ is improbable, the anime might return with an entirely new tale. ‘The Seven Deadly Sins Season 5 was released in two parts. The first season premiered on June 28, 2021, with the second season following on September 23, 2021.
A film adaptation, named ‘The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light,’ was released on Netflix on October 1st, 2021.
The film is a prequel to season 5 and will air in Japan on July 2, 2021. The manga’s last chapters were covered in the fifth season, while ‘The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light’ serves as an original sequel tale. The film has an entirely new tale penned by manga creator Nakaba Suzuki. The official trailer for ‘The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light’ may be viewed below.
Although the fifth season concluded with the manga’s conclusion, there is still a ray of hope for the anime to return, although as a whole new series.
Author Suzuki might just write a new plot to cover another season as he did in the film. Alternatively, they may adopt ‘The Seven Deadly Sins: The Four Knights of the Apocalypse’ (Nanatsu no Taizai: Mokushiroku no Yon-Kishi), the manga’s sequel. Regrettably, filming for ‘The Four Knights’ began in late January 2021. There are still three tank volumes available as of this update (December 2021). As a result, it may be some time before there is sufficient source material to span an entirely new season.
When Will Seven Deadly Sins Season 6 Release?
Season 6 is currently improbable due to the anime having previously covered the entirety of the original material. A sequel manga is currently in development. However, there are still very few volumes published. Additionally, there has been no formal indication of the manga’s sequel being adapted. We will update this section as additional information becomes available.
What Is The Plot Of ‘Seven Deadly Sins Season 6?
The anime chronicles the disbandment of the titular knights when they are falsely accused of organizing a coup against the Liones Kingdom. Years after the Holy Knights sequestered the Seven Deadly Sins, Elizabeth, the third Liones princess, discovers Meliodas, the bandleader. The two set out on a quest to locate the Seven Deadly Sins’ missing members to clear their names and free Liones from the Holy Knights.

Meliodas was eventually revealed to be the Demon King’s cursed son, and his destiny is intertwined with Elizabeth’s.
As previously stated, season 5 of ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ will conclude the adaptation of the manga series upon which the show is based. If the anime is renewed for a second season, we can anticipate either a completely new tale or an adaptation of the manga sequel ‘The Four Knights.’
