The epic story of The Seven Deadly Sins follows a unique group of adventurers on a mission to save the kingdom from destruction. But in what order should you watch the anime?
The Seven Deadly Sins, a legendary group of feared knights, were thought to have been defeated – at least, that’s what everyone believed. However, rumors suggest that they are still alive. Ten years after their mysterious disappearance, the Holy Knights overthrow the king and seize control of the kingdom, leading to chaos. His daughter, Elizabeth, sets out on a journey to find the Seven Deadly Sins and restore peace.
With multiple seasons, bonus episodes, and movies, The Seven Deadly Sins has grown into a vast franchise, making it challenging for newcomers to figure out the correct watch order.
The Seven Deadly Sins: The Right Order to Watch
Originally created as a manga by Nakaba Suzuki, The Seven Deadly Sins quickly became a hit anime, later expanding with additional specials and movies. To experience the story in the right order, follow this sequence:
- The Seven Deadly Sins – Season 1 (Series, 2014)
- Nanatsu no Taizai (Special Episode, 2015)
- The Seven Deadly Sins: Signs of a Holy War – Season 2 (Series, 2016)
- The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of the Commandments – Season 3 (Series, 2018)
- The Seven Deadly Sins: Prisoners of the Sky (Movie, 2018)
- The Seven Deadly Sins: Heroes’ Frolic (Special Episode, 2018)
- The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods – Season 4 (Series, 2019)
- The Seven Deadly Sins: Dragon’s Judgment – Season 5 (Series, 2021)
- The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light (Movie, 2021)
If you want to enjoy the story in the correct chronological order, this is the best way to watch it. The bonus episodes aren’t essential, as they don’t follow the manga directly, but they do provide extra insights into the world of The Seven Deadly Sins.
By the way, in 2023, the franchise expanded with a new series. Four Knights of the Apocalypse introduces a new protagonist, shifting the focus away from Meliodas as the main character.
