Sousou no Frieren would have a second season

A recent massive leak claimed that the anime adaptation of "Sousou no Frieren (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End)" will have a second season that is already currently in production. It should be noted that this information comes from a source in China, so there is no confirmation about it so far.

Meanwhile, Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe began publishing the manga through Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine in April 2020, and it is still in serialization. An anime adaptation by Madhouse studios aired during the Fall-2023 season (October-December) and had a total of twenty-eight episodes.

Synopsis of Sousou no Frieren

The Demon King has been defeated, and the victorious group of heroes has returned to their respective homes after disbanding. The four of them—the magician Frieren, the hero Himmel, the priest Heiter, and the warrior Eisen—reminisce about their decade-long journey when it's time to say goodbye. But the passage of time is different for elves, which is why Frieren witnesses how his beloved companions are slowly dying.

Before his death, Heiter manages to impose on Frieren a young human apprentice named Fern. Driven by the elf's passion for collecting a large number of magical spells, the pair embark on a seemingly aimless journey, revisiting the places that the heroes of old had visited. Throughout his travels, Frieren slowly confronts his regret for missed opportunities to form deeper bonds with his comrades, now deceased.
