Frieren, an elf seeking magic spells, embarks on a journey to stunning locations and encounters various companions, though not all stay by her side for long.

The anime's first part consisted of twelve episodes, with the first episode being 2 hours long, essentially equivalent to the length of four individual episodes. This technically gave us 16 episodes in Part 1. Madhouse initially announced that this would be a two-cour season, indicating that the second part of the anime will also contain twelve episodes.
Although not confirmed, there is a possibility that the studio will conclude the series with a special episode. It's possible that the final episode will have a longer runtime than the regular episodes.
All the episodes of Frieren’s first part are available to watch on Crunchyroll. We can expect the new episodes to arrive on the same platform.

Editor's P/S
As a passionate fan of the anime series "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End", I am thrilled to learn about the release date of Part 2. The first part of the anime, which premiered in September 2023, captivated me with its enchanting world-building, compelling characters, and stunning animation. Frieren's journey as an elf seeking magic spells, accompanied by various companions, has been an emotional rollercoaster, and I can't wait to see where the story takes us next.
The announcement that Part 2 will begin airing on January 5, 2024, has filled me with excitement and anticipation. While I am disappointed that there will be a week-long hiatus after the conclusion of Part 1 on December 22, I understand that the production team needs time to create the high-quality content that we have come to expect from this series. The fact that Part 2 is scheduled to have twelve episodes, similar to Part 1, ensures that we will have plenty of new adventures to look forward to.
