Season 2 of “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” is almost here. And we’re providing a live countdown to help you know exactly what time episode 1 of the anime is going to be available to watch.
The first season ended on March 22, 2024, after 28 episodes. So while the wait’s been long, fans are happy to say hello to the magical world again.
‘Frieren’ Season 2 Premieres at 7 a.m. Pacific on January 16
Crunchyroll has confirmed with EntertainmentNOW that season 2 of “Frieren” will drop at 7 a.m. Pacific time on Friday, January 16.
In other time zones, this is: 8 a.m. Mountain time, 9 a.m. Central time, 10 a.m. Eastern time.
Don’t forget: it’s only the English sub that’s premiering on January 16. The English dub will release on a later date to be announced.
If you’re looking for a live countdown, we’ve provided one embedded into the story below, along with links to other live countdowns in case this one doesn’t work on your browser (or you want to view it on a larger screen.)

The 2nd Season Premieres Earlier in Japan Than on Crunchyroll
According to Frieren’s official website, each episode airs 11 p.m. every Friday JST on the Nippon Television Network (30 stations across the country), and then begins streaming in Japan on various channels at midnight. This means that “Frieren” will be on TV in Japan about an hour before it’s available on Crunchyroll. So if you see people in Japan talking about the episode before it’s available for you, that’s why.
News about season 2 was first announced during the Frieren panel at the Anime Expo 2025 in July. The news was a surprise announcement during the event.
The series is based on the award-winning manga by Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe. Keiichiro Saito directed the anime at studio MADHOUSE for season 1. Tomoya Kitagawa is the director for season 2.
You can watch “Frieren” on Crunchyroll at this link. It airs on Crunchyroll in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS and India.
