Frieren: Beyond Journey's End season 2 trailer shows Frieren and his friends resuming their journey

The Frieren: Beyond Journey's End season 2 trailer, revealed at the Anime Expo 2025, begins with the elven mage, Frieren's internal thoughts. She notes that she never tried to learn anything about others, but rather only thought of learning to live on her own. Likewise, Stark thinks that he was always running away.

However, Frieren knows that things are different now, as she reminisces about the memories she created with her old and new parties. With a new resolution, she resumes the journey to Ende with the red-haired warrior, Stark, and her mage-apprentice, Fern. The trailer ends with the confirmation that the series will air in January 2026 on Nippon TV stations.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End season 2 stars Atsumi Tanezaki as Frieren, the elven mage, while Kana Ichinose returns as Fern. Meanwhile, Chiaki Kobayashi voices Stark, the red-haired warrior and the apprentice of Eisen. More cast members will be revealed in the future.
