Frieren season 2 won’t be here until January 2026
Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe’s award-winning Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End manga inspired one of the best anime series of recent years. A second season was swiftly announced, but we’ll have to wait until January 2026 to see how Frieren’s journey continues. The first season ran for 28 episodes between September 2023 and March 2024, gaining plenty of admirers during its broadcast. While we have a 10-month gap between now and the season 2 premiere, a new teaser visual arrived along with the news to help us relax a little. Image via official Twitter/X account For those who haven’t watched, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is a very RPG-fan-friendly series that elegantly depicts life after the grand adventure ends and captures the feeling of a character who outlives everyone around her. Frieren is an elven mage who was a former member of the celebrated party that took down the Demon King and restored peace to the land. Flash forward 50 years and not much has changed for Frieren, but some of those companions have since passed and a new journey begins to unfold. Yamada and Abe’s manga has been serialized in the pages of Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine since April 2020. 2021 saw it win the 14th Manga Taisho award, as well as the 25th annual Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize’s award for new creators. Other accolades followed, and the anime adaptation made quite a few year-end lists, including our own! January 2026 may seem like a far-flung date at this point, but the wait should be worth it. Anime studio MADHOUSE, director Keiichiro Sato (BOCCHI THE ROCK!) and series composition writer Tomohiro Suzuki (One-Punch Man) conjured some magic the first time around. Let ‘em cook and we’ll see Frieren again on the other side of the calendar. The post Frieren season 2 won’t be here until January 2026 appeared first on Destructoid.
