Anticipation builds for the arc of the golden city

The announcement comes hot on the heels of the conclusion of the second season, which wrapped up the Divine Arc Revolt storyline. However, the studio has already begun work on adapting the highly-regarded Arc of the Golden City, a fan-favorite chapter in the manga series.

Set to explore themes of human emotions and complexity, the new arc will see Frieren and her team venture to the fabled city of Weise, where they will encounter the enigmatic Mahat, a new antagonist and one of the Seven Sages. The first promotional poster for the upcoming season has already been shared, giving fans a glimpse of the epic story to come.

Reactions to the news have been overwhelmingly positive, with fans expressing their excitement and anticipation for the next installment. Some have even marveled at the fact that the third season will be a television series, rather than a feature film, emphasizing the studio's commitment to delivering a high-quality, in-depth narrative.
