Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2

The decision to produce a second season of an anime is usually made by the production committee, not the studio itself. In the case of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, TOHO Animation is part of the production committee. They have a strong track record for approving sequels, having worked on successful titles like Jujutsu Kaisen, Mushoku Tensei, and My Hero Academia.

While Madhouse, the studio behind Frieren, has been known to make sequels for shows like Overlord, they often depend on the production committee’s budget and the potential for revenue from the source material and merchandise. For instance, Madhouse did not produce the second season of One Punch Man because the production committee did not allocate enough budget for the original team, which consisted of some of the best freelance animators in the industry. As a result, the studio and production team were replaced for subsequent seasons.

If you’re eager for Frieren to receive a sequel, supporting the franchise by purchasing merchandise, Blu-ray discs, and manga can help boost sales and revenue, giving the production committee more incentive to greenlight a continuation. Rumors suggest that Frieren has already received such support, with sales of Blu-ray Vol. 1 and manga volumes seeing a significant boost.

Leaks and Rumors

According to a reputable leaker on Weibo, known as 122, Frieren Season 2 is reportedly already in production. While no official announcement has been made yet, 122’s credibility is backed by their previous accurate leaks on production details for shows like Fire Force and Demon Slayer. Though it’s unclear how much progress has been made on Season 2, the fact that production has begun is encouraging for fans.

The current season of Frieren is set to cover up to chapter 61 of the manga, and with 133 chapters currently available, there should be enough source material to adapt into a second season, even if it covers 80 chapters.

Conclusion

While no official word has come from the production committee or Madhouse regarding Frieren Season 2, the signs are positive, thanks to increased sales and reliable leaks suggesting it’s already in production. Fans can look forward to more news in the near future as the project continues to develop.
