Has Demon Slayer been renewed for season 4?

As of June 2023, Demon Slayer has not been officially renewed for a fourth season. However, there are strong indications that a fourth season is in the works.

First, the third season of Demon Slayer is still airing, and it has been very successful. The first two episodes of the third season were the most-watched anime episodes of all time on Crunchyroll. This suggests that there is a lot of demand for more Demon Slayer content.

Second, the anime series has yet to cover all the arcs in the manga, so there’s still plenty of source material for a fourth season of the anime.

Third, the anime’s production company, Ufotable, has a good track record of producing high-quality anime. Ufotable has produced several other popular anime series, including Fate/Zero and The Garden of Sinners. This suggests that they would be able to produce a high-quality fourth season of Demon Slayer.

Based on these factors, it seems likely that Demon Slayer will be renewed for a fourth season. However, an official announcement has not yet been made.

Has the Demon Slayer manga series ended?

Written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge, the Demon Slayer manga series has already ended. The manga’s final chapter was released on May 18th, 2020.
