Not much details have been revealed from the special program aside from the release window, but it is safe to assume that the main cast of voice actors would be making their return to their specific roles.
What has been confirmed is that the movie will be adapting the Holy Kingdom arc that takes place following the end of Season 4 of the anime, and Volume 12 of the original light novels.
The synopsis of the Holy Kingdom Arc is as follows:
“The Sacred Kingdom has enjoyed a great many years without war thanks to a colossal wall constructed after a historic tragedy. They understand best how fragile peace can be. When the terrible demon Jaldabaoth takes to the field at the head of a united army of monstrous tribes, the Sacred Kingdom’s leaders know their defenses are not enough. With the very existence of the country at stake, the pious have no choice but to seek help wherever they can get it, even if it means breaking taboo and parlaying with the undead king of the Nation of Darkness!”
