How Many Episodes of The Beginning After The End Will There Be?
So, we know when we need to sit down and watch The Beginning After the End. But, how many weeks do we need to block out Wednesday afternoons for? The debut season of The Beginning After the End is currently slated to run for 24 episodes. Unfortunately, the series is following the incredibly frustrating ongoing trend of splitting its season into two cours.
The exact details of the cour split haven’t been confirmed. However, it is safe to assume that Cour 1 will contain the first 12 episodes, with Cour 2 holding the second half of the season. While Cour 1 begins on April 2nd, Cour 2 hasn’t been given a release date or window yet.
Because we’re good like that, the table below contains the release schedule for Cour 1 of The Beginning After the End‘s first season.

What Is The Beginning After The End About?
TurtleMe’s webtoon was first published digitally on Tapas in 2018 and is still ongoing. Despite looking like your standard isekai story, in a similar vein as Mushoku Tensei, The Beginning After the End has slowly built up an intense following over the past seven years.
The series follows the reborn as a baby in another fantasy universe trope, as King Grey is reborn as Arthur Leywin and uses his second life to make up for his many misgivings in his past life. Crunchyroll describes the series: “After a mysterious death, King Grey is reborn as Arthur Leywin on the magical continent of Dicathen. Although he enters his second life as a baby, his previous wisdom remains. He begins to master magic and forge his own path as the years go by, seeking to correct the mistakes of his past life.”
Note: This article will be updated to include any delays or hiatus to Season 1 of The Beginning After the End.
