'Free!' Film Scheduled for 2020 is Postponed

The latest film in the Free! franchise, Free! (2020), has been postponed. The Kyoto Animation production was scheduled to premiere in Summer 2020, but the official website announced that it has been indefinitely postponed due to various circumstances. The production team hopes to have an updated release date in the near future, and promised to do their best in creating a film in line with expectations.

The Free! series began in July 2013 and is based on the High☆Speed! light novel, an honorable mention in the second Kyoto Animation Awards in 2011. It was written by Kouji Ooji, with the late Futoshi Nishiya providing the illustrations. Nishiya was also the chief animation director for the High☆Speed!: Free! Starting Days prequel film released in 2015 and the third season of the Free! TV anime series.

Well Tokyo Olympics are happening August 2021, so that means Free! can happen now.

It would have been amazing to have it happen simultaneous with the Tokyo Olympics, but we can wait.

You heard wrong. The sources say the scheduled trailer screening for July 19 was cancelled and not the film.
