There’s plenty to get excited about beyond that, too. The last we left them, the demon slayers and Hashira were sucked into the titular Infinity Castle. There, they’re set to face off against the demonic leader (and series villain) Muzan Kibutsuji – but what else can we expect? Below, in our guide to the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie trilogy, you’ll find out.
Everything from Infinity Castle release window to December’s latest trailer can be found below. For those reading along with the source material, there’s also an answer to which manga chapters will be adapted next and a look at why we’re getting a trilogy of movies for Infinity Castle instead of the more obvious next step of Demon Slayer season 5.

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie release date speculation

We’ll have more news on the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle release date as we get it.
The Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movies will pick up whereDemon Slayer season 4and Hashira Training left off, with Ubuyashiki predicting an approach from Muzan and detonating his entire complex (he and his family along with it) in the hopes of stopping the demon leader.
While Muzanjustabout escaped, the main Hashira all converged. Despite being beheaded, Muzan wasn’t defeated and was able to trap each Hashira inside the demon’s HQ of Infinity Castle (hence the name). From there, they must battle to escape, kill the Upper Ranks and, ultimately, defeat Muzan and put an end to the demon scourge once and for all.
While we won’t go into spoilers here, it’s clear from the anime that all roads lead to a final showdown between the Hashira and Muzan’s army of demons, including the Upper Ranks.
As the name suggests, that sees the Infinity Castle – Muzan’s HQ – come into play, with the eternal battle between demons and demon slayers being brought to a definitive end here. You won’t want to miss this.
This is the list of arcs so far and how Infinity Castle fits into the bigger picture:
To avoid any confusion: no,Demon Slayer Infinity Castle is not Demon Slayer season 5.We’re getting three movies to wrap up the series in cinemas instead.
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle is definitely the final arc, however, with Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zanitsu’s stories drawing to a close once the anime ends. But it’s not going to be on television; it’s a theatrical exclusive and, for all intents and purposes, replaces what would have been Demon Slayer season 5 in terms of chronology.
Thenew trailer for Demon Slayer Infinity Castlehas been shown off, serving as both a quick recap for the story so far and a brief taster for what’s to come.
The Infinity Castle trailer sees Muzan pontificating on the meaning of eternity, while it also charts Tanjiro’s story. Watch it for yourself above.
The Demon Slayer Infinity Castle cast hasn’t been locked in yet but, like Tanjiro’s keen sense of smell, we’ve got a gut feeling that these will all be returning in some form or capacity.
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle will air exclusively in cinemas as a big-budget affair, with the possibility of it streaming on Crunchyroll a few months down the line. A Netflix release could also come later.
