"I want to see it soon, too! When will it be? I don't know," director Yasuhiro Kimura said recently of the second episode. "It takes a lot of time to make just one episode, but production is going smoothly, and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished episode as much as you are!"

The final episode of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End season 2 will arrive on March 27. Season 2 briefly stole the top spot from its own first season on the ranking, but has now slipped back down to number 14 with a still-stellar rating of nine.
