The long-awaited season 2 of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End finally has a new trailer and release window.
The trailer was revealed this weekend during Anime Expo in California. The series will simulcast with the Japanese release on Crunchyroll in January 2026.
After the party of heroes defeated the Demon King, they restored peace to the land and returned to lives of solitude. Generations pass, and the elven mage Frieren comes face to face with humanity’s mortality. She takes on a new apprentice and promises to fulfill old friends’ dying wishes. Can an elven mind make peace with the nature of life and death? Frieren embarks on her quest to find out.

Frieren and her beloved bands of heroes from across the eras won the hearts of many as they began their journey, and excitement has continued to build as they’ve awaited the adventure to continue.
