Frieren (Atsumi Tanezaki) and her party’s journey has only just begun. AsFrieren: Beyond Journey’s EndSeason 2 prepares for its release, the producers of the popular fantasy anime have teased what’s to come in the next installment and how Season 2 will differ from what was seen in Season 1.
In an interview withScreenRant, Frieren producerYuichiro Fukushiteased that Season 2 will expand the show’s rich history and worldbuilding “dramatically.” The Frieren party will be entering new regions filled with new cultures, as well as the chance to encounter darker mysteries. Additionally, Fukushi claims that the narrative will grow due to “Fern and Stark’s (Chiaki Kobayashi) growing maturity,” Frieren’s character development, as well as increased stakes.
While it’s currently unknown what the whole plot for Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 will entail, as well as its episode count, it is safe to assume that it’s going to cover the “Continued Northern Travels Arc” and “Divine Revolte Arc,” where Frieren’s Party can travel to the Northern Plateau thanks toFern becoming a First-Class Mage. Season 1 contained a total of 28 episodes and covered the first four story arcs from the manga. So, fingers crossed that Season 2 will receive a similar episode count.
