There are some slight shake ups behind the scenes for these new episodes, however.

Thankfully, it won’t be much longer until it finally hits our screens.

Why You Should Watch Frieren Season 2

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 is one of the most highly anticipated premieres of the Winter 2026 anime schedule kicking off the new year, and it’s because it offers an experience that fans can’t see in much of anime elsewhere. The fantasy series introduced fans to a near immortal titular character who’s not going on a traditional adventure that fans have seen before. Rather than defeating a villain, she’s just going on adventure decades after defeating that foe and trying to get a better handle on the life and world around her.

It’s a series filled with melancholy at its core, but at the same time there is a lot going on in the present day that fans can latch onto. Thanks to the work done with the team at Madhouse, each episode offers an intense and gorgeously animated adventure where there’s something that goes viral with each new entry. If you’re onto this series yet, it’s time to jump in before the new season begins.
