There will no longer be a Yuri on Ice Movie called "ICE ADOLESCENCE." The news came from the official X account (formerly Twitter) for the popular anime show.
The production committee and staff at Studio MAPPA, the animation company that worked on the project, said that this hard choice had to be made because of "various circumstances."
The Yuri on Ice franchise began in 2016 as a manga story that readers fell in love with right away. It's about Yuri Katsuki, a skilled figure skater who finds love for the sport again with the help of Victor Nikiforov, who used to be his idol but is now his teacher.
Because the Manga was so well-liked, Studio MAPPA made an anime version of it later that same year. Fans loved the first season's 12 episodes.

Because the anime was so popular, Studio MAPPA said they would make a Yuri on Ice movie in 2017 called "ICE ADOLESCENCE." However, in 2019, the company said that the movie's release would be postponed to make sure they could make a movie that fans would love.
After years of waiting, the official Yuri on Ice X (Twitter) account finally broke the sad news that the movie will not be made after all. This is what it said:
Thanks for always being there for "Yuri!!! on ICE."
We have chosen not to make "YURI!!! on ICE the movie: ICE ADOLESCENCE," which was supposed to come out later than planned.
We're very sorry that we weren't able to live up to the hopes of everyone who has been hoping and has been supporting us for years.
The staff and production committee have been talking about making and delivering the movie all the time, but for some reason, we have had to make the hard choice to stop production.
We're truly sorry for anyone who was looking forward to its release, and thank you again for your continued support.
Thank you, Yuri!!! on ICE PROJECT MAPPA Co., Ltd.
There's no real reason why the movie didn't happen. Some fans think it could be because of the pandemic, a lack of creativity, or other issues with the production.
