On Friday, December 5, 2025, TOHO Animation’s official YouTube channel dropped a new 30-second commercial for *Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End* Season 2. While it didn’t showcase any fresh visuals—just a compilation of clips from previous promos—the result was still stunning. What really made it stand out, though, was the new information it revealed.
A recent commercial revealed that the first episode of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 will air on Friday, January 16, 2026, at 11 PM JST, as part of the “FRIDAY ANIME NIGHT” block on a nationwide network of 30 Nippon TV stations. It also offered a sneak peek at the new season’s soundtrack, composed by Evan Call, the American composer known for his work on Violet Evergarden, My Happy Marriage, and Muv-Luv Alternative.
What to Expect From Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2?
As fans may remember, the first season of the anime wrapped up with Serie overseeing the final stage of the Mage Exams. The test was simple—Serie would pass or fail candidates based purely on her intuition. Unfortunately for Frieren, Serie took a dislike to her and failed her, but Fern managed to impress Serie and earned the title of First Class Mage. With a First Class Mage now among them, Frieren’s group was free to travel to the northern lands, and the season ended with them leaving the city to continue their journey. The second season will pick up from there, starting the Continued Northern Travels Arc, where Frieren and her friends are likely to explore new regions, meet fresh faces, battle more demons, and delve deeper into demon lore. Later, during The Golden Land Arc, the story will introduce Macht, one of the Demon King’s Seven Sages of Destruction, giving fans a chance to learn about him and watch Frieren’s group face him in several battles. More details about the upcoming season, including new cast members and characters, will likely be revealed as the release date approaches.
