The anime series "The Seven Deadly Sins" is set to return for season 2, but there is still no announcement on the official release date yet. However, special episodes will air next month, and here is a roundup of details about the upcoming season.

Anime News Network reported that the anime will be airing a 4-episode special starting on Aug. 8 at 5 p.m. "The Seven Deadly Sins: Signs of Holy War" is a four-week special that will focus on a special arc of the story. It will premiere on MBS and TBS. The English-dubbed episodes are also expected to come out next year.

According to reports, there is a possibility that the upcoming second season may have a brand-new theme. Tomokazu Tokoro is also rumored to direct the upcoming season.

The anime is set in a world where humans and non-humans are still mixed up. The people fear the Holy Knights who are the protectors of the Kingdom of Leones. The Knights are powerful yet mysterious magic users. However, the strongest among them, the Seven Deadly Sins, are considered traitors of the kingdom after betraying them. In effect, they have made the other Knights as their enemies.

Queen Elizabeth of the Kingdom of Leones is a skeptic to this legend. In order to find out if the stories are true, she decides to search for the existence of the Sins. However, as she hunts down them one by one, she is shocked by her discovery. It seems like they are harmless and powerful. The first Sin Knight that she meets is a boy named Melodias. Her expectations are not met when she discovers that he is just but someone he gets paid to look after the pigs.

The upcoming season could possibly detail more on Queen Elizabeth's quest and her intentions. It is also expected to elaborate more on the Seven Knights.

More details about "The Seven Deadly Sins" season 2 will be revealed soon.
