The initial season of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End aired in September 2023, and it lasted till June 2024. The first season had a total of 28 episodes, all of which were produced by Madhouse. It received immense praise from viewers, and that was reflected in the insane ratings that it received.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Has Massive Potential
It Could Become One Of The Greatest Anime Series
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is based on the manga of the same name, written by Kanehito Yamada. It began serializing in the Weekly Shōnen Sunday in August 2020. So far, all the chapters have been compiled into 13 volumes.
The manga has sold 22 million copies, which is extremely impressive considering it is not a mainstream shonen anime. This number will likely increase in the future, and if the second season is a success, it might even cross the 50 million mark.
While there is no information about the new cast members, fans can expect the main members to return. The same goes for the staff. After all, it would be unwise to try and fix something that isn't broken. Depending on the success of the second season, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End might announce even more projects in the future, helping the name reach a bigger audience.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
