Crunchyroll has announced the Demon Slayer Season 3 premiere date for the latest season of the popular action anime.
Demon Slayer Season 3, which covers the Swordsmith Village arc, will premiere on Crunchyroll on Sunday, April 9. The streaming service will simulcast subsequent episodes each week after where the streamer is available and exclusively in North America, South America, and Europe.
“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,” reads Season 3’s synopsis. “With the shadows of demons lurking near, a new battle begins for Tanjiro and his comrades.”
The first episode of the new season first debuted in theaters earlier this month, where the hour-long premiere episode played alongside the two final episodes of Season 2. The premiere introduced fans to new characters and established the action-packed premise for the highly anticipated third season.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a shonen manga series created by Koyoharu Gotouge. Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump serialized the manga from February 2016 to May 2020. The anime adaptation by studio Ufotable first premiered in April 2019. Haruo Sotozaki is directing the series.
