Frieren Season 2 Gets First Worldwide Crunchyroll Trailer in Major Anime Release Update

Beginning its run in late September 2023, the animated series Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End has garnered both critical and popular success due to its unique blend of humor and introspection as it explores the transient nature of life through the perspective of its lead character Frieren. This nearly immortal elven mage is on a personal journey after the death of her party leader, who they had joined decades earlier to vanquish the Demon King. The series Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End was highly praised for its exploration and appreciation of human constraints, offering a refreshing contrast to typical power fantasies and stereotypes.

Regrettably, the announcement of Season 2 for “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” coincides with Atsumi Tanezaki, the Japanese voice actress behind Frieren, sharing that she will be reducing her workload due to health concerns. Despite this, she intends to continue voicing the wise and humorously spaced-out mage, as well as maintain her roles in other anime series, including Anya Forger in “Spy x Family” Season 3.

At Anime Expo, producer Yuichiro Fukushi announced that Tomoya Kitagawa will take over directing duties for Season 2 of the show, replacing Keiichiro Saito who directed Season 1. Kitagawa, who was a storyboard artist and directed several episodes in Season 1, will now be at the helm. Meanwhile, Saito, known for his work on Bocchi the Rock!, will continue to supervise Season 2 as director. Other key staff additions include assistant director Daiki Harashina (from takt op. Destiny), scriptwriting by Tomohiro Suzuki (One-Punch Man), character design by Takasemaru (Violet Evergarden), and contributions from Keisuke Kojima (100 Meters) and Yuri Fujinaka (key animation on Spy x Family Code: White). Seiko Yoshioka, known for her background art work on Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, will handle concept art. Evan Call will once again compose the music for the series.

In January 2026, the second season of the series “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” will air on Crunchyroll. If you live in North America, you can buy it right now from the official Crunchyroll Store. The regular Blu-ray/DVD version is due for release in late September, while the limited edition, which includes unique collectibles and other bonuses for online pre-orders, will be available in October.

Following the victory of the heroic group over the Demon King, they brought tranquility back to the realm, and once more led lives of seclusion. Time marches on, and the elven sorceress Frieren encounters the fragility of human existence. She accepts a new pupil and vows to grant the final wishes of departing companions. Will an elvish intellect come to terms with the essence of life and death? Embarking on her journey, Frieren seeks understanding.
