The Seven Deadly Sins is a sweeping fantasy anime following the legendary band of knights known as the Nanatsu no Taizai as they fight to protect the kingdom of Liones. Here is the complete watch order for the entire franchise including films and the sequel series.
Nakaba Suzuki's The Seven Deadly Sins blends high-octane battle sequences with an intricately constructed medieval fantasy world full of demons, goddesses, and ancient prophecies. At the center of it all is Meliodas — the cheerful, overpowered captain of the Seven Deadly Sins — and the princess Elizabeth, who is searching for her legendary knights to save her kingdom from a corrupt Holy Knight coup. The franchise spans five main anime seasons, two theatrical films, and a sequel series following the next generation of heroes.
🕐 Release Order
Release order is the recommended way to watch The Seven Deadly Sins — each season builds directly on the last, and the films fit into specific points in the main story.
- The Seven Deadly Sins (Season 1, 2014–2015)
- The Seven Deadly Sins: Signs of Holy War (Season 2 mini, 2016)
- The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of The Commandments (Season 2, 2018)
- The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods (Season 3, 2019–2020)
- The Seven Deadly Sins: Dragon's Judgement (Season 4, 2021)
- The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light (2021) — theatrical film
- The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh Part 1 (2022) — film
- The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh Part 2 (2023) — film
- Four Knights of the Apocalypse (2023–present) — sequel series
Cursed by Light is set immediately after Dragon's Judgement and should be watched before the Grudge of Edinburgh films, which follow Tristan — Meliodas and Elizabeth's son.
📖 Story Chronology
Story chronology mirrors release order for the main series. The Grudge of Edinburgh films and Four Knights of the Apocalypse take place years after the events of the main series, following the next generation.
- Season 1 → Signs of Holy War → Revival of The Commandments → Wrath of the Gods → Dragon's Judgement
- Cursed by Light (2021) — epilogue to the main story
- Grudge of Edinburgh Part 1 & 2 (2022–2023) — next generation begins
- Four Knights of the Apocalypse (2023–present) — sequel series, Percival's story
Which Order Should You Choose?
Follow release order from Season 1 through Dragon's Judgement — this is the core Seven Deadly Sins story and should not be skipped or reordered. After completing the main series, watch Cursed by Light as an epilogue, then move on to the Grudge of Edinburgh films before starting Four Knights of the Apocalypse. The sequel series introduces an entirely new protagonist and works best when you have the full context of the original story's conclusion.
