Netflix began streaming a trailer on Saturday for the first part of The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh (Nanatsu no Taizai: Ensa no Edinburgh), the all-new two-part anime film project for Nakaba Suzuki's The Seven Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai) manga franchise. The video reveals the film's December 20 premiere worldwide, and also reveals and previews SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:XAI's theme song "Lemonade."
Yūki Kaji is reprising his role from the main series as Meliodas. Mikako Komatsu is voicing Meliodas' son Tristan as a boy, while Ayumu Murase is voicing Tristan as a teenager.

The project will feature a new original story written by original manga author Nakaba Suzuki, and will center on Meliodas' son Tristan. Netflix describes the story:
14 years since the Kingdom of Liones defeated the Demon Clan and brought peace to the land, Prince Tristan is tormented by his inability to control two great powers: the Demon Clan power of his father, Meliodas, who served as captain of the Seven Deadly Sins as the Dragon Sin of Wrath, and the Goddess Clan power of his mother, Elizabeth. When Elizabeth's life is threatened, Tristan flees the kingdom and heads toward Edinburgh, where Deathpierce — who was once a member of a group of the kingdom's Holy Knights, the Pleiades of the Azure Sky — maintains his castle. But what are Deathpierce's intentions?
The wheel of fate begins to move and sweeps up even The Seven Deadly Sins…
Bob Shirahata is directing the anime, with Noriyuki Abe as supervising director. Rintarou Ikeda is penning the script for the project, and Alfred Imageworks and Marvy Jack are animating. Kohta Yamamoto and Hiroyuki Sawano are composing the music.
