Suzuki stated in an August 2018 interview with Kadokawa’s Da Vinci magazine that he was planning on concluding The Seven Deadly Sins manga in “about a year,” after about 40 volumes’ worth of story. He noted that he had the ending planned since the beginning of the manga and that he plans to give it an ending worthy of a shōnen magazine.
The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods will be third television anime adaptation of the popular franchise, based on the fantasy adventure manga series by Nakaba Suzuki, which being published in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine since October 2012 and currently has 38 volumes.
