Since season 1 began airing back in 2014, the franchise has gone on to become beloved by anime fans. Thankfully, there are plenty of TV episodes and films in the franchise to dive into.

Taking place between the kingdoms of Britannia, The Seven Deadly Sins follows Princess Elizabeth after the events of the Holy War.

Elizabeth’s kingdom is now ruled by the corrupt Holy Knights, leaving her to desperately look for a way to get rid of them. She goes in search of the Seven Deadly Sins, despite them now being thought of as missing.

Though the franchise is full of twists and turns, watching the show in full is easier than it might seem. Here’s everything you need to know to watch The Seven Deadly Sins in full.
