Recently, Dragon Ball insider DBS Chronicles took to Twitter to report that they’ve heard that new weekly Dragon Ball episodes are being worked on, with the current plan being that the series will pick up following the “Universal Survival Saga,” an arc of Dragon Ball Super that sees Zeno’s Tournament of Power beginning, with multiple universes taking part in the fun.

The insider also noted that a new Dragon Ball movie following the upcoming Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is currently in pre-production. According to them, Toei Animation is planning on releasing new films every 2-3 years, although it’s unclear exactly what the setting or plans for the films will be.

These reports coincide with various rumors that Dragon Ball Super was set to return in some way. With the recent film debuting to massive praise and box office success in Japan, it isn’t too surprising to see Toei readying to bring back the iconic franchise.

The anime adaptation of Dragon Ball Super initially ended in March 2018 after 131 episodes aired. Since then, two films for Dragon Ball Super, the first of which was Dragon Ball Super: Broly, which was directed by Tatsuya Nagamine and written by Akira Toriyama. Broly took place after the events of the Universe Survival Saga and features Goku and Vegeta taking on the legendary Saiyan.
