Will There Ever Be A Demon Slayer Season 5?

Following the conclusion of Demon Slayer Season 4, the series decided to take a different approach for the remainder of the arcs. The studio chose not to create another season and instead opted to cover the Infinity Castle arc in a movie. The announcement was made in 2023, and the movie was finally released on July 18, 2025. The movie has received stellar reviews, but some fans still want to know if there will ever be a season 5.

Demon Slayer Season 5 Possible Release Date

Demon Slayer Season 5 Will Likely Happen After 2030

• Demon Slayer Season 5 has not been announced
• ufotable is busy with other projects

Unfortunately, the studio has not announced a fifth season of Demon Slayer, and there’s a good chance that it won’t change any time soon. ufotable’s primary focus will be to release the remaining two movies as quickly as possible. According to reports, the first movie in the trilogy was in production for three and a half years, which means the studio was working on two projects at the same time. Despite handling two big projects simultaneously, ufotable ensured there was no drop in the quality.

After both projects were finished, the studio would have quickly changed its attention to the next movie. Considering the time needed to produce one movie, it feels foolish for the studio to try and work on a fifth season, at least at the moment. So, Demon Slayer Season 5 won’t be announced at least until the trilogy is concluded.

When the trilogy is over, ufotable could potentially reveal a fifth season, as it would help to maintain the popularity of the series. The studio could even add new scenes to the television series to make it more appealing to fans. If the studio does announce a fifth season, then it will possibly be released after 2030.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie 2 And 3 Release Date

There have been reports suggesting that ufotable wants to release the second movie in 2027, which feels almost impossible considering the production time of the first movie. The only way the studio can pull it off is if it takes the same approach that it did with the first Infinity Castle movie. ufotable should have already started working on the second movie while it was making the first one. In case ufotable is unable to adhere to the same schedule, then the second movie will be pushed to 2028.

The release date of the third movie is highly dependent on the second movie for obvious reasons. If movie number 2 drops in 2027, then fans are looking at a possible 2030 release date for the third movie. Some reports suggest that ufotable is aiming to wrap up the trilogy by 2029, but it just doesn’t seem realistic. In order to achieve its target, the staff at ufotable will have to work extra hard, which will not be good for their physical and mental health.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie Is A Massive Success

Infinity Castle Movie Has Broken Many Records

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie has shattered three major records of Japanese cinema. It has broken first-day, opening-day, and single-day records. It’s clear that the movie is performing well, and it will only continue to improve when it releases in theaters worldwide. Once the movie moves away from theaters, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle will make its way to streaming platforms. So, fans will be able to enjoy the movie in the comfort of their homes.

The success of the movie will also inspire other franchises to take the same steps in the future. There are many action series that could actually benefit from a similar approach. Solo Leveling is one of the first names that comes to mind. The series is entirely focused on action, making it the perfect candidate for a movie. Solo Leveling doesn’t have long arcs, so a movie can cover a lot of the story. Jujutsu Kaisen is another franchise that could dabble in the movie side. It has already released Jujutsu Kaisen: 0, which was well-received by viewers. So, it’s entirely possible for the series to do the same.
