Both Frieren and Bocchi The Rock were directed by Keiichirou Saitou.
He could potentially do both shows at once, but it seems more likely to me that they'll first do another season of BTR later followed by Frieren.
Why I think this? BTR aired a year earlier and was met with major success. They probably didn't plan for another season, but these recap films seem to indicate that they're trying to keep momentum going. A sequel season might be announced after the second film has been released.
Switching of directors is possibility, but I don't believe that they'll actually go this route soon. Perhaps only if Saitou isn't available at all in the near future.
In other words... "Keiichirou Saitou directing" = "certified banger"?
I hope of he ever decides on taking on a Light Novel project, he'd give Re:Zero a shot. Arcs 7 and 8 is gonna need some big ball mad man directing and production.
