In recent years, Netflix has become a hub for anime, and it's certainly no surprise to see that the streamer licensed the Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse anime adaptation for its subscribers. In 2023, Netflix released a live-action adaptation of One Piece, so who knows where the streamer will go next.  

The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse season 2 will be released on January 30, 2025. This marks the second season in the sequel series to the original Seven Deadly Sins anime. It's also not the only Seven Deadly Sins project that Netflix has available to stream. There are also films like Cursed By Light, Grudge of Edinburgh Part 1 (and Part 2), and Prisoners of the Sky, plus the 5 season series, Dragon's Judgment. 

And Netflix's anime offerings aren't limited to shounen series, either. This fall, the streamer released Terminator: Zero, a gutwrenching anime based on James Cameron's Terminator film series. There's also an emerging Castlevania Universe on Netflix, with 4 seasons of the mainline Castlevania show alongside the sequel series, Castlevania: Nocturne. So good ahead, knock yourself out!
