Update: April 1, 2019 – Season 2 announced and will release in 2020.

The Promised Neverland trailer revealed during Jump Festa 2019 in Japan and has received quite an interest for many anime fans. The dark fantasy manga first published in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine on August 1, 2016 and still running today. Below is the synopsis of the series:

Set in year 2045, Emma is an 11-year-old orphan living in Grace Field House, a small orphanage housing her and her 37 siblings. Life had never been better; with food that tasted gourmet, plush beds, snow-white uniforms, the love of their “Mom” and caretaker Isabella, and the litany of daily exams that Emma always aced with her two best friends Ray and Norman. The orphans are basically allowed to do whatever they want, except to venture out of the compounds or the gate that connects the house to the outside world.

On a fateful night, another orphan named Conny is sent away to be adopted, but Emma and Norman follow her after noticing that she had left her stuffed rabbit toy Bernie back at the house. Sneaking out, they find Conny dead and the truth of the existence of this supposed orphanage to be a farm where human children are raised as food for demonic creatures. Worst still, Isabella is in allegiance with the demons, ripping away at everything the two ever thought they knew. Determined to break out of Grace Field House, Norman and Emma partner up with Ray to peel away at the façade of the farm and find a way to escape with all their other siblings.

The Promised Neverland airs on January 20, 2019 in Japan. North America residents can watch it on January 9 on Crunchyroll and Hulu. A new episode to air every Thursday.
