A-1 pictures Studio CloverWorks will be the studio behind the anime. If you’re unfamiliar with their work, they are the studio behind Darling in the Franxx, Persona 5: The Animation, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
It’s the moment that fans of the series have long been waiting for. As for those who may not have read the manga for The Promised Neverland, trust me, you will be in for a treat. Also take a look at the character designs for Emma, Ray and Norman.

One day, though, Emma and Norman uncover the dark truth of the outside world they are forbidden from seeing.
