The author of the Fairy Tail anime, Hiro Mashima, had recently announced that he had good news to tell fans. Everyone was betting on the Anime's return, and that's what happened. According to the author, the series is already in the production process. What he said was basically this on his Twitter account: “New series (continuation) of the Fairy Tail is confirmed. It was thanks to the support of all of you. Thanks."
He did not comment anything regarding a possible premiere date, limiting himself to just saying that it will be a continuation of the previous series. This would be the big surprise that Mashima had promised fans a few weeks ago. The news brings great relief to the thousands of Fairy Tail fans around the world who were rooting for the anime to return to TV. New information coming soon here in NL.
