An anime adaptation has been announced for Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, a sequel to the long-running Fairy Tail series.

Fairy Tail is a long-running anime and manga series which began in 2006. The manga ran for 63 volumes over the course of eleven years before finishing in 2017. The series has gone on to produce multiple fan works and video games based off of it.

Though the series didn’t stay gone long as Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest was published just one year later and is an ongoing sequel to the original story.

A summary of the series from MyAnimeList can be found below.

The 100 Years Quest: a mission so challenging and hazardous that it has remained unaccomplished for over a century. While countless mages have attempted to take on this gruelling objective, their results ended in either overwhelming defeat or worse. Nonetheless, Natsu Dragneel and his friends—Lucy Heartfilia, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet, and Wendy Marvell, along with the exceeds Happy and Charlés—ambitiously embark on the quest.

A year after the Fairy Tail guild has overcome the diabolical forces of Acnologia and Zeref, Natsu and his team trek into the northern continent of Guiltina, where they seek out the employer of the 100 Years Quest and receive their nearly impossible mission: to seal away the Five Dragon Gods—a group of individuals with such vast power that, if left alone, could cause global devastation. Meanwhile, a spirited new member named Touka is recruited to Fairy Tail. Although her vibrant energy and passionate nature makes her perfect for the guild, there seems to be more to her than meets the eye.

Determined to accomplish their seemingly insurmountable mission, Natsu and his friends begin their treacherous search for the Dragon Gods. However, once encountering a new dark guild named Diabolos, along with the newest recruit of Fairy Tail revealing her true colors, Natsu and his team will find that the 100 Years Quest isn’t the only challenge they face.
