Demon Slayer is now a global phenomenon after arriving in the West on Netflix, and back in Japan the film continues to break box office records left and right.
But now we’ve gotten a glimpse of what’s happening after the events of the movie when season 2 of Demon Slayer actually arrives. It just got a new one, short trailer an example of what it calls The Entertainment District Arc:
We currently only have a loose release date for Demon Slayer season 2, that’s sometime in 2021. And if they say 2021, that probably means late 2021. Demon Slayer Season 1 originally debuted in Fall 2019, so we can see a two-year difference between the seasons. So, needless to say, fans are excited to even hear the news that it’s arriving this year.
This new season looks like it will be a departure from Season 1, which mainly took place in the wild and wooded areas with only a few stops in major cities. Now this main arc can take place whole in a city it looks like.
We get a few glimpses of characters in the trailer, but it’s still hard to know what to make of it. I also haven’t seen the movie yet as there’s no release so far so I’m not sure how that story ended and if this is directly related to that. This woman certainly looks, not very friendly and quite demonic:

It’s hard to underestimate how massive Demon Slayer is especially in Japan, as it broke the box office record of 6 billion yen once held 19 years by Spirited Away, one of the most beloved animated films in history. Below that? Titanic and Frozen. So yes, this is a big deal.
We don’t know much more about Demon Slayer Season 2 yet, but when the teasers start there will be more substantial previews to follow, so stay tuned.
