Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Is Back for Season 2 – Here's When You Can Stream New Episodes
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End has returned for a second season. The first season landed as IGN’s Best Anime of 2024, so expectations are (deservedly) quite high. Fortunately, Kambole Campbell’s review of the premiere says that the new season “follows up the excitement and complex world-building of its magic exam arc with a simpler, more grounded story.” I am personally preparing for more existential crises.
Though reports suggest the new season may be significantly shorter than the first, Frieren is one of the anime I was most looking forward to in 2026 and certainly a highlight of this winter anime season. If you’re planning to tune in, here’s everything you need to know.
The new season of Frieren will be streaming on Crunchyroll in the U.S. and UK. The first episode arrived on Crunchyroll on January 16 at 7am PT (3pm GMT). Subsequent episodes will be released on the anime streaming service at the same time every Friday.
Some reports are indicating Frieren’s second season will only have 10 episodes, a pretty significant reduction from the previous season’s 28. The reduction, if true, could be a response to the manga being on an indefinite hiatus, giving the animation studio more leeway for future seasons. There’s also the chance that it’s the result of demanding production timelines, but there’s been no official confirmation.
Frieren Season 2 is releasing new episodes exclusively on Crunchyroll in the U.S. and UK. However, you can also stream the first season on Hulu, Disney+, and Netflix. The first season landed on Netflix around 18 months after airing, so it’s likely the second season follows a similar (very long) timeline.
Frieren Season 2 continues to be produced by studio Madhouse, with Tomoya Nagataki taking over Keiichiro Sato’s role as director. While the studio has not announced a new voice cast for the second season, here’s the main Japanese voice cast from the previous one:
