We learned in the fall of 2019 that a new Kaiketsu Zorori anime series is in the works for the spring 2020 season with Motto! Majime ni Fumajime Kaiketsu Zorori, which is translated as More! Seriously Unserious Incredible Zorori. The series kicked off with an April 5th, 2020 premiere on NHK Educational but was bumped to a July 5th, 2020 debut due to the pandemic.
