After much anticipation, details about Demon Slayer Season 3 have finally been revealed. Along with its broadcast date, Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village also announced a movie release in March in the US and Canada.
Details about the Swordsmith Village arc were announced recently by Aniplex of America and Crunchyroll, with the full details being revealed on the show’s official website.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 3 Release Date
After the Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village anime was revealed at the end of Season 2, many fans speculated if the follow-up is a series or a movie.
After all, the Mugen Train arc was adapted into a movie that became the biggest anime film in Japan.
Adding to the confusion is the fact that the next Demon Slayer anime will get a theatrical release in the US, Canada, Japan, and other countries.
Though it was confirmed that the Swordsmith Village arc is a TV anime series and not a feature film.
The upcoming cinema release is instead a movie cut of the Entertainment District arc finale and Season 3’s first episode.
The upcoming cinema release will allow fans to get a first look at the highly anticipated third season.
Though even if you can’t watch it, you can still look forward to Demon Slayer Season 3's premiere in April 2023. The upcoming anime will begin airing on Fuji TV in April in Japan.
But right now, there’s no final word yet on when and where the series will be streamed in Japan.
Given that the upcoming cinema release is handled by Crunchyroll, it’s highly likely that Season 3 will also be streamed on Crunchyroll come April.
