A screening event commemorating the second anniversary of the broadcast of the TV anime "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, " based on the manga currently being serialized in "Weekly Shonen Sunday" (Shogakukan), was held at TOHO Cinemas Roppongi Hills (Minato Ward, Tokyo) on September 26th, with appearances by Atsumi Tanezaki , who plays Frieren , Kana Ichinose , who plays Fern , and Chiaki Kobayashi , who plays Stark . At the event, it was announced that the second season of the TV anime will be broadcast on Nippon Television's anime slot "FRIDAY ANIME NIGHT (Furaani)" every Friday at 11pm starting January 16th, 2026, and the voice actors talked about the highlights of the series.
Kobayashi commented, "If you read the original work, you may find that there are more scenes that make you think, 'So this is the kind of brilliance it is.'" Ichinose said, "Personally, when I read the original work, the film is packed with scenes that I wanted to see on screen."
Tanezaki said, "We are currently working hard on the second season, and although it is fun, we are also feeling nervous while recording. I think that the second season will mainly focus on these three characters ( Frieren, Fern, and Stark), so there may be a different atmosphere from the first season, but I hope you will enjoy that difference. It will start in January, so please look forward to it."
