The anime series "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" is confirmed to return for a second season premiering in January 2026. The announcement coincided with the Anime Expo 2025 panel and included the release of a new trailer. The series is an adaptation of the melancholic fantasy manga by Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe, which is set decades after a hero party defeated the demon king. The second season will be produced by Madhouse studio, with Tomoya Kitagawa, known for directing episodes of "Sora yori mo Tooi Basho," serving as the director. Crunchyroll will stream the new season. The manga remains on hiatus as the anime continues.
