 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.

| That's fantastic news! I honestly can't wait. |
 |
| Oh hell yes. Can't wait. |
 |
| Wonderful ad. I really enjoyed Frieren ☺️♥️ |
 |
Another Peak is coming |
| 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. |
 |
| The argument behind frieren never getting a season 2 was one of the most idiotic logic ever and now it's proven. |
| It was inevitable. Naysayers be damned. |

| The most unsurprising news I've ever heard. Like why would someone even think this won't happen lol. |
 |
| saito tweeted and implies he was surprise of season 2 announcement so possible new director https://x.com/kei_globster/status/1839996622815494365 but as long as the animation producer is still fukushi then no problem he can find another talented director |
| So many more good stuff to see animated, hype! |
 |
| Jokes on people who said this won't. |
 |
| Where is Okeanix? He must be in shambles right now. |
 |
| @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? |
| Can't wait to see what new cope Okaenix will come up with. This gonna be a wild ride. 🤣 |
 |
| Really excited for Frieren S2 and I really hope Keiichirou Saitou will come back to direct S2. |
 |
| The BEST news ever. |

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
| @_Rearden_ "Fukushi is currently busy with Shingo Natsume project" is that a leak or confirmed news? |
| LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! HYPE!!! Madhouse is at its peak. Can't wait for S2. |

| @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? |

| Simply simply lovely |

| This is a dream come true! It makes me so happy. |
| Letssss goooooo 🔥 I wonder when it'll air through |
| 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. |
| This is gonna be great! Season 2 will be adapting the El Dorado arc, which was arguably THE best arc from the story so far. |
 |
| 🙏😭 we're back |
 |
| parts that i liked the most have already been animated but ye this was to be expected. hope the visuals stay the same level though. |
 |
| News like this are what keeps humanity sane enough to not self-destruct yet. God bless. |
| Of course the the best anime currently is gonna get season 2!!! |
| The new greatest anime of all time has just been announced... |
 |
| Finally, and it’s not going to be another OPM scene! Looking forward to this! |
