Frieren Season 2 Widens Its Mythos in Episode 2, With Episode 3 Set for Jan. 30

Crunchyroll’s weekly rollout continues with a 10‑episode run reportedly shaped by the manga’s hiatus.

Overview

  • Episode 2, titled “The Hero of the South,” is now streaming on Crunchyroll, continuing the Friday release cadence.
  • Episode 3 is scheduled for January 30, airing in Japan at 11:00 p.m. JST and streaming on Crunchyroll one hour later at 7:00 a.m. PT.
  • Early Season 2 entries expand the backstory with a pivotal figure from the Demon King era and showcase the party’s first major fight of the season without major reveals.
  • Season 2 is planned for 10 episodes after the nearly two‑year gap, with industry reporting linking the shorter slate to the manga’s ongoing hiatus for creator health.
  • Current availability is subbed on Crunchyroll across major regions, with select Southeast Asian Netflix windows and an English dub planned but not yet dated.
