A Japanese anime based on the titular manga series by Koyoharu Gotōge, Demon Slayer has observed exponential fame and popularity ever since its release. The data suggests that within five years of the series debut in February 2016, it generated over $8.75 billion in sales revenue, becoming one of the highest-grossing media franchises in history.
According to What’s on Netflix:
Demon Slayer’s popularity has exploded thanks to some truly fantastic animation by the talented artists at Ufotable. The movie Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, broke Studio Ghibli’s Japan box office record by becoming the highest-grossing movie in the nation’s history.
For those unversed, the Swordsmith Village Arc is officially premiering this weekend and the third season of Demon Slayer will be arriving on Netflix in May 2023. That being said, the fans of the show couldn’t wait for the arrival of the fourth season on the streaming giant. If you’re one of them, continue to read the article for more updates on that.
When will Demon Slayer season 4 arrive on Netflix?
The fourth season of Demon Slayer as all the devoted fans must already be aware, is underscoring the Mugen Train arc, constituting a total of seven episodes which arrived on Netflix on January 21st, 2023. As a matter of fact, the arrival was observed just under fourteen months after the finale episode was broadcast in Japan on November 28th, 2021.
As per the sources, the Entertainment District Arc will also follow suit with the finale aired in Japan on February 13th, 2022. It will be available for streaming on Netflix on May 1st, 2022.
The Swordsmith Village Arc and the Entertainment District Arc have covered the same number of chapters of the manga, that is, 27, which were spread across 11 episodes each. This leads one to assume whether the upcoming tangent will cover the same number episodes. If that’s the case, then the finale of the arc will presumably broadcast on Sunday, June 11th.
Based upon the arcs of the previous seasons that were spread across 11 episodes, we can expect Demon Slayer season 4 to arrive on Netflix sometime between August 2024 and October 2024.
For those unversed, the official synopsis of The Swordsmith Village Arc reads:
“Tanjiro’s journey leads him to the Swordsmith Village, where he reunites with two Hashira, members of the Demon Slayer Corps’ highest-ranking swordsmen – Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito and Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji. With the shadows of demons lurking near, a new battle begins for Tanjiro and his comrades.”
