Considering that 60 manga chapters from the original manga series by Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe were covered in the first season, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End season 2 will begin directly adapting Chapter 61, continuing with Frieren and her friends on their journey to Ende.
If the sequel maintains a similar pace to that of the first season and with the same number of episodes, it may adapt The Continued Northern Travels Arc and part of The Golden Land Arc. In simpler words, the sequel will show Frieren and her friends diving into even more challenges on their journey.
