The acclaimed anime Frieren: Beyond Journey's End has officially revealed details for the continuation of its second season, centering on the Divine Revolte Arc. This upcoming storyline promises to deepen the emotional and action-driven layers of the series as Frieren and her companions face powerful new adversaries in a world still recovering from the Demon King’s long defeat.
The announcement, shared through the official website of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, reveals that the Divine Revolte Arc will begin broadcasting in Japan on February 27, 2026. This date follows a brief one-week suspension in the ongoing Season 2 schedule, allowing the production to transition smoothly into this anticipated chapter. The arc is expected to bring heightened action and intensity compared to previous segments, as Frieren's party confronts powerful threats tied to lingering demonic forces.
A striking new key visual accompanies the reveal, showcasing Frieren alongside her apprentice Fern, the warrior Stark, and other allies in a tense, atmospheric setting. The artwork prominently features the arc's central antagonist, a formidable demon looming ominously in the background, emphasizing the scale of the upcoming conflict.
In addition to the visual, a notable casting addition has been unveiled: veteran voice actor Shinichiro Miki (Roy Mustant in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) will portray Revolte, a powerful demon described as a four-armed general with immense strength and destructive capabilities. Miki's performance is anticipated to add depth to this menacing character, who plays a pivotal role in the arc's narrative.
The core production team remains consistent, with Tomoya Kitagawa directing Season 2 at animation studio MADHOUSE. Series composition is handled by Tomohiro Suzuki, while character designs are credited to Maru Takase, Keisuke Kojima, and Yuri Fujinaka. The evocative soundtrack continues under the direction of composer Evan Call, whose work has been instrumental in defining the show's emotional tone.
The Divine Revolte Arc adapts corresponding chapters from the original manga by Kanehito Yamada (story) and Tsukasa Abe (art), serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday since April 2020. The manga has garnered widespread praise for its thoughtful exploration of time, loss, and the passage of generations, with 15 volumes released in Japan to date. The anime adaptation has faithfully captured these themes, earning critical acclaim for its animation quality, pacing, and character development.
As the series progresses, it continues to resonate with audiences through its unique perspective on immortality and human connections. Crunchyroll describes the premise of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End as follows:
After the party of heroes defeated the Demon King, they restored peace to the land and returned to lives of solitude. Generations pass, and the elven mage Frieren comes face to face with humanity’s mortality. She takes on a new apprentice and promises to fulfill old friends’ dying wishes. Can an elven mind make peace with the nature of life and death? Frieren embarks on her quest to find out.
With the Divine Revolte Arc set to introduce new adversaries and reunite familiar faces from the mage ranks, the season promises to escalate the stakes while maintaining the introspective heart of the story. International viewers can look forward to streaming Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2, including the Divine Revolte Arc episodes, on Crunchyroll shortly after their Japanese broadcast, continuing the platform's simulcast support for the series.
