Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 4, famously known as the Hashira Training Arc, will have a one-hour special premiere. The first episode will air on Sunday, May 12, 2024, at 10:15 a.m. EDT.

It premiered in Japanese theaters on February 2, 2024. It was later screened in theaters worldwide and grossed over $44 million as of April 2024. Haruo Sotozaki directed the Hashira Training arc at Ufotable, while Crunchyroll, Toho, and Aniplex distributed it worldwide.
As the name suggests, the upcoming season will cover the Hashira Training arc of the manga. Hence, the story will continue after the Swordsmith Village arc, where Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and others undergo training supervised by the Hashiras. Evident from the previous seasons, the Hashiras are adept warriors in the Demon Slayer Corps and can tactfully handle Upper Rank demons, which is why they take charge of these specific training.
Per the manga’s events, the arc is relatively short and prepares the demon slayers for their battle against Muzan Kibutsuji. Hence, fans can prepare to witness the trainees go through rigorous training, ultimately setting the stage for an action-packed Infinity Castle and Sunrise Countdown arcs.
Tune in to Crunchyroll and Netflix to catch Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 4 (Hashira Training arc) on May 12, 2024.
