Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Set To Return on July 23
We now have an official confirmed date for the end of the hiatus after much speculation
On July 12, 2025, it was announced that after a 6-month hiatus, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End will officially return on July 23, 2025.
Last June, it was announced but not specified that the hiatus would be over, given some Viz websites have updated the schedule for the release of Frieren.
Frieren began its hiatus after the release of Chapter 140: “Ballroom” on December 25, 2024, making this the longest hiatus, double the length of the previous times.
Amidst this hiatus, Season 2 will still be coming on January 2026.
