The 2nd season of Frieren may be over, but a new season is on the horizon. Frieren, Fern and Stark will be back in October 2027 for a third season. This upcoming season will be adapting the Golden Land Arc. To celebrate the amazing journey Frieren and co have been on, we had the absolute pleasure of talking to the amazing English dub cast.
Together, we discussed some of our favourite moments (including the absolutely iconic tantrum montage), the voice acting experience, as well as the phenomena that is anime. We’re super excited to share this interview with
