ALRIGHT, FRIEREN FAM—GEAR UP! We are officially eating good because Season 2 is in full swing, and things are about to get intense. If you thought the “First-Class Mage Exam” was high-stakes, wait until you see what’s coming next in the Northern Lands.
The official accounts just dropped the bombshell we’ve all been waiting for: the “Divine Revolte Arc” (Shingi no Revolte-hen) is officially set to begin its broadcast on February 27, 2026. Grab your staffs and mana-detection gear, because here is everything you need to know about this upcoming legendary run!
What is the Divine Revolte Arc All About?
This arc is the sixth major story beat in the series, spanning chapters 71 through 76 of the manga. While the “Continued Northern Travels Arc” has been a bit more meditative, “Divine Revolte” cranks up the danger.
We are heading deep into the Northern Lands, a place so treacherous that even though the Demon King was defeated years ago, the area is still crawling with high-level demons. In fact, it’s so dangerous that the series establishes a survival rule: any party traveling here must have at least one First-Class Mage just to stand a chance.
The main antagonist is the powerful demon Revolte, and let me tell you, the casting is absolute perfection. Shinichiro Miki—the legend who voiced Roy Mustang in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood—is bringing Revolte to life. Hearing his voice go up against our favorite elven mage is going to be cinematic gold!
The Story So Far: Where are We in the Anime?
The Frieren anime has transitioned from a meditative look at mortality and legacy into a more perilous journey through the northern reaches of the continent.
- Season 1 Recap: The first season (28 episodes) followed Frieren’s reunion with her old comrades, the passing of Himmel and Heiter, and her decision to mentor Fern. Alongside Stark, the party successfully navigated the “Aura the Guillotine Arc” and the “First-Class Mage Exam Arc,” ending with Frieren and Fern officially becoming certified mages.
- Season 2 Progress: Season 2 premiered on January 16, 2026. So far, the anime has aired four episodes, primarily covering the Continued Northern Travels Arc.
- Recent Highlights: In Episode 4, titled “Other People’s Homes,” the series focused on a lighthearted yet awkward first date between Stark and Fern. A new ending theme, “The Story of Us” by Milet, was also recently released, featuring a music video that highlights the bonds between Frieren’s past and present adventuring parties
Key Information and Production Details
- Episode Count Discrepancy: There is conflicting information regarding the length of Season 2. While some reports suggest the season may be as short as 10 episodes, leading to speculation that it will only adapt the Northern Travels and Divine Revolte arcs, other analytical projections suggest a 20-to-21-episode season would be more strategic to allow for the full adaptation of the massive Golden Land Arc (chapters 77–104).
- Production Team: The second season is being produced at studio MADHOUSE under the direction of Tomoya Kitagawa, with music by Evan Call.
- Where to Watch: New episodes are released every Friday at 7:00 AM PT on Crunchyroll, shortly after the Japanese broadcast.
Note: While fans are eager to see if the Goddess’s Monument Arc (a time-travel-focused storyline) will be included in Season 2, current production timelines and manga pacing suggest it may be reserved for a third season or potentially a theatrical film. Information regarding a potential movie is based on community speculation and is not confirmed in the official news sources provided
