| Film | Status on September 23, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Part 1: Akaza Sairai ("Akaza Returns") | Released. Japan July 18, 2025; US and Canada September 12, 2025. Streaming on Crunchyroll since July 28, 2026. Japanese Blu-ray and DVD out July 29, 2026. |
| Part 2 | Confirmed as part of the trilogy. No title, release date, release window or trailer announced. |
| Part 3 | Confirmed as the final film of the trilogy. No date or window announced. |
The trilogy was announced on June 30, 2024, after the final Hashira Training episode aired in Japan. Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment distribute it outside Japan and some other Asian territories. The films are made by studio ufotable, and Haruo Sotozaki directed Part 1. The three films adapt the manga's Infinity Castle arc and the final battle with Muzan Kibutsuji, which finish the story.
Is there a Demon Slayer movie in 2026?
Not a new one. The only Demon Slayer film in cinemas during 2026 was Part 1 again: a North American SCREENX re-release on March 6, 2026, announced by Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures. Part 1's run in Japanese theaters ended on April 9, 2026 after 266 days.
What 2026 did bring is home viewing. Part 1 came to Crunchyroll on July 28, 2026, went on digital sale the same day, arrived on Blu-ray and DVD in Japan on July 29, and is due on Netflix in the US on September 28.
Part 2 release date: what is and isn't official
No official source gives Part 2 a date or even a year. The official English Infinity Castle site had no Part 2 news when we checked, and its most recent Film I announcement lists no dates for Films II or III. The official Japanese site shows the same.
Three claims circulate and are worth sorting out:
- "Part 2 in 2027, Part 3 in 2029." This came from a Guardian article that was later corrected. The correction, reported by CBR, says the earlier version was wrong and "no specific release dates have been confirmed."
- ufotable's promotion reel. Early in 2026, ufotable published a studio reel. Coverage of it, such as Screen Rant's, reports that the 2026 section featured other projects and that Infinity Castle Part 2 appeared among future projects. That strongly suggests Part 2 is not coming in 2026. It does not set a date.
- September 17, 2027. Movie database The Numbers lists an "Untitled Sony Pictures Film" for that day, and some outlets have tied it to Part 2. The listing does not name Demon Slayer, and neither Sony, Crunchyroll, Aniplex nor ufotable has linked the two.
Our read: 2027 or later is the realistic window for Part 2, based on the studio reel and on how long Part 1 took to make. Treat any exact day as a guess until the official Demon Slayer site or Aniplex publishes it. Japan's date will likely come first, with international dates announced separately, as happened with Part 1.

What Part 1 covers, and what to watch first
Part 1 picks up straight after the Hashira Training arc. Muzan pulls Tanjiro and the Hashira into the Infinity Castle. The film centres on three fights: Shinobu against Upper Rank Two Doma, Zenitsu against Kaigaku, and Tanjiro and Giyu against Akaza. Parts 2 and 3 will adapt the remaining battles and the final fight with Muzan.
Watch the TV series through the Hashira Training arc before Part 1. The film is not a starting point for new viewers. Our anime watch order guide explains how to handle films inside a TV series.
If you want to know how the fights end before Part 2 arrives, the manga is complete in 23 volumes. Our Demon Slayer power ranking covers every major fighter and contains full manga spoilers.
