A newly drawn illustration by Tsukasa Abe, the artist for the original manga, has been released on the official X account for Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, sparking a massive wave of excitement online.

The image was posted by Abe along with a message of gratitude following the conclusion of Season 2. In addition to the words "Thank you for watching Season 2," the illustration clearly confirms that the long-awaited sequel, "Season 3: The Golden Land Arc," is scheduled to air in October 2027. The artwork depicts Stark (CV: Chiaki Kobayashi), Frieren (CV: Atsumi Tanezaki), and Fern (CV: Kana Ichinose) walking away together—an emotional piece that beautifully evokes the sense of the journey that still lies ahead.

In response to the post, fans flooded the comments with both joy and bittersweet feelings over the season's end, with remarks such as "I can't wait!", "Alright, I'm surviving until October 2027...", and "The 'Frieren withdrawal' starts all over again." Other comments like "How can this alone make me cry?" and "Seeing them from behind says everything... I’ll keep walking until next autumn too," show fans soaking in the lingering emotions of the illustration while eagerly counting down the days to the sequel.
