The animated series Lord of Mysteries has revealed a long-term plan to tell its full story. Over the next decade, it will be released in several parts, ending with a movie. The series is based on a well-known Chinese web novel that mixes mystery, steampunk, and supernatural themes.
Season 1 started in mid-2025, and the new plan means viewers can expect a steady stream of episodes that will cover the whole story from start to finish.
