Originally, "Free! The Final Stroke Part 1" was set to release around the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in summer 2020, but this became unfeasible due to the arson attack on Kyoto Animation Studio on July 18, 2019, which claimed the lives of 36 employees. The first part of the film is scheduled for release on September 17, 2021, and the second part on April 22, 2022, in Japan.
