1. We have the plot - Here's a synopsis of the pilot episode, thanks to V Jump magazine via Anime News Network: "After defeating Majin Buu, life is peaceful once again. Ordered by Chi-chi to earn money, Goku works even as he wants to train even more. Meanwhile, Goten, about to become a brother-in-law to Videl, sets out on a journey with Trunks to find her a present."
2. The recent movies will play a part - The show will tie into the events of both "Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods" and "Resurrection F" films, introducing two crucial characters, God of Destruction Beerus and Whis, from those films as series regulars.
