What Will Happen in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2?

The finale of the first season of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End ends with Fern becoming an official first-class rank mage. Frieren’s party passes the major hurdle required to travel to the mysterious land of Aureole, where the souls of the dead reside. The second season will continue their journey as they meet new characters and face more difficult challenges along the way. The second season will cover the Continued Northern Travels Arc and Divine Revolte Arc.

During their journey, Frieren, Fern, and Stark receive a request to slay a demon. The monster destroyed a village in the Rufen Region of the Northern Plateau. They will meet a proctor and examinee from the First-Class Mage Examination, who will lend their aid. Since this arc is relatively short, the season will also likely cover the Golden Land and the Goddess’ Monument Arcs from the manga.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 1 is currently available to stream on Crunchyroll and Netflix. Additionally, you can read the manga for free on the official website of Viz, and you can also buy physical and digital copies online.
