The fourth season of Demon Slayer: trailer, storyline, and release date

Demon Slayer Season 4 will see us reuniting with Tanjiro for more demon hunting as this incredible anime continues to grow.

One of the most watched anime series ever, Demon Slayer has provided us with three captivating seasons of exciting travels as the main character Tanjiro battles demons and explores Japan in the early 1900s. Driven by his sister Nezuko’s possession, Tanjiro finds a whole warrior network devoted to eliminating these hideous beings, which draws him more into the continuous struggle to save humanity.

Aside from the first three seasons, there has only been one anime film, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, which holds the record for greatest box office earnings in Japan at the moment. Toho, Aniplex, and Ufotable have opted to provide additional episodes of one of the greatest anime series available on Netflix in addition to a movie for Demon Slayer Season 4, so offering the best of both worlds.

How does that operate? While we’re at it, we can explain all you need to know about Demon Slayer Season 4.

Demon Slayer Season 4 release date

Demon Slayer Season 4 will kick off in spring 2024.

Fans can see the first episode of Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc in theaters on Friday, February 23, 2024, in the compilation film Demon Slayer: Hashira Training. We expect episodes to begin streaming soon after that, in April.

Previous seasons of Demon Slayer started in April, and that would provide ample time for the new film to run its course in cinemas around the world — particularly in Japan, where it’s setting box office records — before returning to the small screen. We’ll keep you updated on when exactly that’ll happen.

Is Demon Slayer Season 4 a movie?

Season 4 of Demon Slayer is not a film. But before the new season premieres, the last Swordsmith Arc episode and the first Hashira Training Arc episode will be combined into a theatrical production called a “compilation film.”

Demon Slayer has already done this, combining episodes from the Entertainment District Arc and the Swordsmith Village Arc to create Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village in 2023. The movie makes a lot of noise; viewers may see the first episode on the largest screen imaginable, and soon after the compilation film debuts, the season resumes weekly showing.

Demon Slayer Season 4 cast

All the regular voices are expected to return for Demon Slayer Season 4 in both Japanese and English. Natsuki Hanae, Akari Kitou, and Hiro Shimono have become synonymous with Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Zenitsu, alongside all the other regulars, and that won’t be changing any time soon.

Demon Slayer Season 4 plot

Tanjiro begins working towards becoming a Hashira in Demon Slayer Season 4. That’s a high rank within the Demon Slayer Corps, and requires an incredible amount of hard work. He does this by working with Himejima, a hard-nosed Hashira who tests Tanjiro to his limits.

Of course, you can expect plenty more surprises than just some training montages, but that’d be spoilers. Carrying on the manga, Demon Slayer Season 4 is adapting chapters 128-136. That’s the entire Hashira Training Arc, and is covered in Volumes 15 and 16 if you’re reading the collected editions.

Demon Slayer Season 4 trailer

Demon Slayer Season 4 doesn’t have a full trailer yet, but we do have a teaser for Demon Slayer: Hashiro Training, the compilation film.

We expect a proper trailer for the season itself to arrive sometime after the film has premiered, in late February.

Where to watch Demon Slayer Season 4

You can watch Demon Slayer Season 4 on Crunchyroll in the US and UK. Likewise, fans in both territories can watch Demon Slayer on Netflix, however the release is likely to be delayed, similar to Season 3, and probably won’t arrive on the service until later in 2024.
