Earlier today, Funimation confirmed it would be releasing The Seven Deadly Sins on home video in both the U.S. and Canada this year. So far, there's no specific release date attached to the announcement, but fans can look forward to the desired release moving forward.

Earlier this year, Netflix made fans of the anime pleased when it announced a second season was on its way. A trailer for the upcoming episodes was released by the site last week.

If you are unfamiliar with The Seven Deadly Sins, you can read up on Funimation's description below:

"When Holy Knights arrest her father and sisters, Princess Elizabeth seeks out a group of legendary warriors known as the Seven Deadly Sins. Once revered, the Sins betrayed the kingdom and became fearsome fugitives that no man is willing to face—a far cry from the heroes this princess needs.

Finding the Sins is no easy task, and Elizabeth's journey takes her to a small tavern where she collapses in front of a short, unassuming man and his talking pig. Helpful, albeit perverted, the barkeep reveals that he's actually Meliodas, the Dragon Sin of Wrath—captain of the Seven Deadly Sins! Agreeing to help her, the two travel the countryside in search of his companions. But their journey pits them against dangerous creatures and the treacherous, power-hungry Holy Knights who plan on eliminating the Sins for good."

The series debuted in October 2012 in Weekly Shonen Magazine and has since sold more than 10 million volumes. A-1 Pictures then adapted the manga into an anime in October 2014. Netflix acquired rights to the show's English dub, and Crunchyroll releases The Seven Deadly Sins manga simultaneously with its Japanese debut.

The Seven Deadly Sins is available for streaming exclusively for Netflix, and The Seven Deadly Sins: Signs of Holy War will be available on February 17, 2017.
