The Sousou no Frieren (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End) first anniversary stage greeting event announced a second anime season on Saturday, revealing a teaser visual (pictured) and announcement promo. Madhouse, the animation studio behind the first season, will return to produce the second season.

The first season premiered with a two-hour special featuring the first four episodes on Nippon TV's Kinyou Roadshow programming block on September 29 last year. Subsequent episodes were broadcast on the station and its affiliates' Friday Anime Night programming block. The anime series ended with 28 episodes on March 22, adapting the first 60 chapters.

Crunchyroll streamed the anime with subtitles and later dubbed it in multiple languages, including English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Muse Asia streamed it in Southeast Asia. Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Disney+ also streamed the anime.

The anime series adapts Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe's fantasy adventure manga, which began in Shounen Sunday in April 2020. Shogakukan published the 13th volume on April 17. Sousou no Frieren has a cumulative 22 million copies of its volumes in circulation.

Shogakukan also released a prequel light novel penned by Mei Hachimoku (Natsu e no Tunnel, Sayonara no Deguchi) on April 17, featuring illustrations by Abe. Supervised by Yamada, the light novel features five chapters, each featuring a different character as the protagonist, including Frieren, Fern, Stark, Lawine & Kanne, and Aura. The light novel sold a cumulative 100,000 copies.

VIZ Media licensed the manga in English in February 2021 and released the 11th volume on September 10. The 12th volume is planned for a February 11, 2025 release. The manga has also been licensed in multiple foreign languages, including Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, and Chinese.

Sousou no Frieren ranked second in 2021 and sixth in 2022 in the Male Readers division of Kono Manga ga Sugoi!, won the New Work Prize at the 25th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize, and the 69th Shogakukan Manga Award earlier this year. The manga was also nominated for the Shounen category at the 45th and 46th Kodansha Manga Awards, eventually winning the award at the 48th Kodansha Manga Awards in 2024.

It took some time, but it was pretty obvious that Frieren would get a sequel. So it was strange to hear from some people that the title would never get a second season or even a movie EVER.

@Okeanix

Where are you? You said Frieren won't get S2, and even if it does, it won't be made by same studio.

Do you want me to spam screenshots of you saying you'd delete your MAL acc if this ever happens?

It might be not Fukushi though. Season 1 had 2 animation producers, and Fukushi is currently busy with Shingo Natsume project. Saito tweet is also concerning

@deg Obviously nothing is confirmed as of today, but multiple leakers said that these two are working together again. Animation producer can work on multiple projects at once, but taking into account Fukushi practice at releasing one project every two years and Toho's ways to rush their mainstream projets, it can be controversal

@deg I thought CloverWorks will do My Dress-Up Darling S2 first so we can have some time for him to work in Frieren S2, and CloverWorks also have many other projects lined up.

as long as the animation producer is fukushi i got no doubt he will hire a talented director whoever it is


I hope that you are right.
And please TOHO do not fuck up Frieren production.


EDIT: Keiichirou Saitou posted this So does that mean he is confirmed for S2?

The #1 Ranked Anime on MAL is getting a sequel! Madhouse doing the second season? I was expecting some other studio to do the second season. Anyway, it'll be interesting if this dethrones Frieren season 1 when it starts airing, especially since Madhouse is doing it again. But yeah, a second season was inevitable.

Not a surprise at all but good to hear this get another season. The bar is very, very high given what season 1 set out but this season should still deliver strongly.
