While 2019 has been a fairly quiet year so far for Original anime titles, the remainder of 2019 is set to be incredibly busy! One such title we can’t wait for is the release of the survival drama series 7 Seeds. While the series has been delayed, it’ll be here before you know it. Here’s all that you’ll need to know about 7 Seeds, including the plot, cast, trailer, and Netflix release date.
7 Seeds is a Netflix Original anime based on the manga of the same name by author Yumi Tamura. The popular survival manga ran from 2001 to 2017, with each chapter released on a monthly basis. This will be the first time in the series 18 years of history that an anime adaptation has been created. The studio behind the production and development of 7 Seeds is Gonzo, who has previously worked on titles such as Rosario + Vampire, Afro Samurai, and Blade & Soul.
What is the Plot of Netflix’s 7 Seeds?
When a group of astronomers correctly predict that Earth would be hit by a meteorite, the leaders of the world draft a plan to ensure the survival of humanity. The Seven Seeds project will take a select group of young individuals from each country and will be cryonically preserved so they can survive the impact of the meteor. It would be determined by a computer that Earth can support human life and will revive each group. Upon awakening, the group of survivors is greeted by a hostile, unknown world devoid of human life.

Manga Coverage of 7 Seeds
At the time of writing, there are currently 35 volumes (179 chapters) published. The story has also been split into different chapters focusing on the seasons and weather or the various regions of the new world. The 7 Seeds manga has a lot of story jam-packed into its pages, therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising if the anime was to cover only 20-30 chapters for the first season. Once the series has aired and we know roughly where it coincides with the manga story, we’ll be better suited to predicting the coverage of season 2.

Episode count and runtime for 7 Seeds Season 1
The full episode count is yet to be announced for 7 Seeds. Most anime series air with 10 to 13 episodes, to which we are expecting 7 Seeds to follow suit.
Each episode’s runtime will be roughly 25 minutes long.
7 Seeds Netflix Trailer
Netflix has released a teaser for the upcoming Original anime. We can expect a full trailer to be released closer to the release date.
When is the Netflix release date for 7 Seeds?
7 Seeds was originally set to release in April 2019, but due to delays in the production of the anime, the series has been pushed back to June 2019. Gonzo, the studio responsible for the development of 7 Seeds, released an official statement regarding the delay.
We now have confirmation that Netflix will release Part 1 of 7 Seeds on the 28th of June, 2019!
Will there be a season 2 of 7 Seeds?
Development of the second season will depend on viewing figures from subscribers. The story of the manga came to an end in 2017, so out of the 35 volumes published, it would be safe to assume there is room for at least three seasons of 7 Seeds.
