The first trailer for Demon Slayer season 3 has been released, giving viewers a fresh look at the antagonist who will be going up against Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and Nezuko. Interesting, huh? Given the prior performance of the show, the eagerly awaited anime’s upcoming season may also arrive within the next 12 months.
Consequently, if you want to catch up and learn what is currently known about Demon Slayer season 3, the sequel to one of the best anime series in recent years, then continue reading. There are rumours about the publication date, predictions about which manga chapters it will adapt, and so much more.
Demon Slayer season 3 release date speculation
There has been no official announcement, but we may anticipate the release of Demon Slayer season 3 over the next 12 months, possibly in early to mid 2023. We had anticipated that Fall 2022 would be a viable possibility, but in the COVID era, accomplishing that so quickly seems unfeasible. If so, a release in the winter or spring of 2023 (from January to April) or the fall of 2023 (from September to October) might all be planned.
Having said that, Ufotable consistently produces high-quality work. Fall 2019 saw the release of Demon Slayer, and Fall 2020 saw Mugen Train make its way into Japan. In the fall of 2021, television’s Mugen Train recap storyline for Demon Slayer premiered. Demon Slayer’s trend of uninterrupted Fall premieres could end, but if anyone is capable of doing the unthinkable, it’s Ufotable.
Although there is some footage in the new video, which shows how well production has been progressing, there is still no release date in sight. Although Fall 2022 is a possibility, 2023 is currently the most likely date.
Demon Slayer season 3 story: What is the Swordsmith Village arc?
Officially, the Swordsmith Village Arc is the third season of Demon Slayer. We won’t discuss the source material here, but be assured that it will likely span chapters 100 to 127 of the manga. Given that the Entertainment District Arc covered a comparable age range of 70 to 99, this season will probably consist of 12 episodes, give or take a few.
It should involve Tanjiro going to Swordsmith Village to obtain a new sword, barring any significant changes. As luck would have it, there is an old weapon in the village. However, the story involving the Love and Mist Hashiras, as well as perhaps a few demons, is not entirely simple.
In a broader sense, the Entertainment District finale also hinted at the likely direction the series will follow after Demon Slayer season 3. Tengen isn’t on the board anymore, yet he’s still very much alive. He informed Iguro that Tanjiro should most likely take over for Hashira. The Demon Slayers can then finally retaliate against Muzan Kibutsuji, their ultimate goal.
Demon Slayer season 3 cast: who are the new characters and demons?
The characters from the Swordsmith Village arc will include Tanjiro (Natsuki Hanae), Zenitsu (Hiro Shimono), Inosuke (Yoshitsugu Matsuoka), and Nezuko (Akari Kitou).
Two characters from the series, the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and the Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanoji, are joining them. Future seasons should also see more members of the Hashiras and the Twelve Upper Moons/Twelve Kibuki. A recent official sketch of the antagonist One Upper Moon, Doma, who is anticipated to make an appearance in Demon Slayer season 3, has been made public.
The film will be directed by Haruo Satozaki, while Akira Matsushima will create the characters.
Here is the first Swordsmith Village teaser for the third season of Demon Slayer.

However, there are a few hints of brand-new material: the sizzle reel shows the Love and Mist Hashira separately, and the Swordsmith Village is where a brand-new blade (later used by Tanjiro) is being made. You may see it in its entirety above.
Where to stream Demon Slayer
Crunchyroll now offers access to Demon Slayer. Given the recent merger with Funimation and the precedent set by Demon Slayer season 2, we anticipate that season 3 will also be available for streaming there. In some regions, the first season of Netflix is currently available for streaming.
