Studio Madhouse has officially confirmed that Frieren: Beyond Journey's End will return for a second season. The announcement came via the series' official Twitter account and was accompanied by a short teaser image featuring the main cast.

What We Know So Far

According to the official announcement, the core production team remains unchanged. Director Keiichiro Saito and series composer Tomohiro Suzuki both confirmed their return, alongside the full original voice cast.

"We're incredibly grateful for the response to the first season. We want to give the second the same care and time it deserves."
— Director Keiichiro Saito

No release window has been confirmed yet, though industry sources suggest a late 2026 or early 2027 premiere is most likely given the production timeline.

Production at Madhouse

The series will again be animated at Madhouse, the studio behind acclaimed productions such as Death Note, Hunter x Hunter, and One Punch Man Season 1.

What Comes Next in the Story

The first season adapted through the Granat arc. Season 2 is expected to begin with the Auberst arc and move into the series' most celebrated material, including the Lügner confrontation.

FAQ

What is a "collection"?

A collection is like a spreadsheet. articles holds all articles (one row per article), categories holds all categories. You'll mostly work inside articles.

Can I save a draft and come back later?

Yes — leave status as Draft and save. Nothing appears on the live site until you switch to Published.

What about tags (hololive, spring 2026, etc.)?

Tags are picked in the article editor — choose from existing ones or type to create new tags inline. They show as clickable chips below the article body and are searchable.
