Frieren Season 2 Is Winter 2026’s Biggest Anime Return

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 is the most anticipated return of the Winter 2026 anime schedule overall, and it’s hard not to see why when seeing how well received the first season of the show was. It’s going to be a packed Winter with a ton of blockbuster franchises that are coming back for new episodes, but this one is standing out from the rest of the pack thanks to that overwhelming success of the first season with studio Madhouse.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End introduced fans to the titular Frieren as she decided to go on a new journey to honor the adventure she had with the hero’s party decades before, and through it is reaching a whole new level of emotional fulfillment. But as the journey continues, it’s clear that the anime has even bigger plans in store as more of its magical world and characters begin to reveal even more complications than ever expected. Make sure to catch up with that first season on Crunchyroll.
