Fans who were concerned that Tanjiro and Nezuko (and everyone else) had reached their final season of Demon Slayer can rest easy knowing that season three is unquestionably coming.
In May 2022, the second season of the enormously popular anime franchise came to an end following an amazing finale that featured some of Demon Slayer’s most breathtaking action sequences to date.
Due to the enormous success of the spinoff/sequel film Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, Demon Slayer also had a banner year. Upon its debut in 2020, Mugen Train became the all-time highest-grossing Japanese film thanks to its success at the global box office.
What does the future hold for Tanjiro and the Hashira Corps’ ongoing conflict with Muzan Kibutsuji now that the entertainment district has calmed down? What is known about Demon Slayer season 3 is shown below.
Demon Slayer season 3 release date: When will Demon Slayer season 3 air?
We have fantastic news: the third season of Demon Slayer will finally be released soon! We didn’t anticipate the show’s April 2023 premiere date to be so soon.
Additionally, we discovered that the Swordsmith Village Arc will begin with a one-hour special episode as opposed to the typical 22-minute length.

Japan on February 3, Tokyo on February 4 and 5, Los Angeles on February 18 at The Orpheum Theatre, the United States and Canada on March 3 in “nearly 1,700 theatres,” Paris on February 25, Berlin on February 26, Mexico City on March 4, Seoul on March 11, and Taipei on March 19 are all upcoming events.

Demon Slayer season 3 plot: What will happen in Demon Slayer season 3?
It has been announced that the third season’s story would centre on the Swordsmith Village arc, the ninth arc of the manga’s initial publication.
It should be noted that the Demon Slayer manga officially ended in 2020, giving anime fans a rare opportunity to learn (approximately) what the future holds for Tanjiro and the crew.
So, beware of spoilers!
Following the conclusion of the Entertainment District arc, in which Tanjiro and Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui slew the demon twins Gyutaro and Daki, the Swordsmith Village storyline immediately follows.
Luckily, Tanjiro’s demon-slaying sword was the only permanent fatality of this titanic encounter.
In episode three of Demon Slayer, Tanjiro will visit the Swordsmith Village to have Hotaru Haganezuka fix his blade.
Naturally, Tanjiro and company will encounter a swarm of demons while there (including a Upper Rank Six that splits themselves across multiple bodies). Fortunately, Muichiro Tokito, aka Mist Hashira, intervenes to handle the topic.
Satoshi Hino (Rengoku) discovered the secret of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba’s widespread popularity (via AnimeNewsNetwork).
“I’m incredibly pleased to learn that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and Japanese animation have appealed to a lot of viewers outside.
Themes in this anime that everyone in the world can identify with include taking care of one’s family, the value of life, and living one’s life to the fullest. I consider it a great blessing that everyone on earth has united and feels the same way.
Season three will continue to explore these crucial themes if it hopes to capitalise on the popularity of the current season.
Demon Slayer season 3 trailer: Any Demon Slayer season 3 footage yet?
Crunchyroll and the production firm Ufotable debuted their first season three teaser trailer in April 2022. (sort of).
Given that it essentially serves as a summary of the series to date, going over the highlights of seasons one and two, calling it a trailer could be a stretch.
The inclusion of some crucial (old) video of the Mist and Love Hashiras, who will undoubtedly play significant roles in the third season, is the most remarkable aspect.
According to past seasons, if the Demon Slayer season 3 launch is set for late 2023, we can anticipate seeing a full trailer in June 2023. Observe this space.
Demon Slayer season 3: Where can I watch it?
Demon Slayer season three will be available for streaming on Crunchyroll when it debuts, according to a prior 2022 agreement between Ufotable and the service.
