When and Where to Watch Frieren Beyond Journey’s End Season 2?
Season 2 streams first and fastest on Crunchyroll, with new episodes dropping weekly from January 16, 2026, at 7:00 a.m. PT in most regions.
If Crunchyroll is already part of the weekly routine, Frieren just slides into the regular queue next to other Winter 2026 titles like Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 and Fire Force’s final part.
A quick region rundown:
-
Crunchyroll: Simulcast in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, and India.
-
Japan: Airs on Nippon TV, with streaming on services like dAnime Store, U‑NEXT, and others after broadcast.
-
Netflix: Season 2 arrives later in many countries, but starts earlier in select Asian regions (including Japan from January 17, 2026).
What to Expect From Frieren Season 2?
Season 2 continues Frieren, Fern, and Stark’s journey into the northern lands, adapting the next major exam and travel arcs from the manga with the same studio Madhouse at the helm.
Expect more of that calm, reflective pacing but with spikes of sharp action and magic battles teased in the newer trailers released in late 2025.
Viewers can look forward to:
-
New mages and exam challenges that test Frieren’s understated but overwhelming power.
-
Deeper looks at Fern and Stark’s growth, both as fighters and as people trying to keep up with an elf who measures time in centuries.
-
More quiet emotional punches a brief conversation by a campfire, a small village memory that linger longer than some shows’ full battles.
Episode Schedule of Frieren Beyond Journey’s End Season 2
Season 2 is set up as a weekly broadcast from January 16, 2026, with new episodes airing every Friday night in Japan and hitting Crunchyroll at 7:00 a.m. PT the same day.
Most reports point to a standard cour length at minimum, with the option to extend similar to Season 1’s longer run if reception and scheduling line up well.
A likely early schedule (subject to minor regional shifts):
-
Episode 1 – January 16, 2026
-
Episode 2 – January 23, 2026
-

For viewers, the simplest approach is to treat Fridays (or Saturday early hours, depending on time zone) as “Frieren day” check Crunchyroll at the same time each week, then catch up on discussion and reactions afterward without wading through rigid schedules or keyword-stuffed breakdowns.
