There is no traditional TV Demon Slayer season 5 in the pipeline. The final story is being adapted as a three‑film Infinity Castle trilogy released in theaters worldwide in 2025 and beyond. If a TV continuation ever happens, none of today’s sources confirm it.
Release status & key dates
In the United Kingdom, the first Infinity Castle film hit cinemas on September 12, 2025, following its Japan debut in July 2025. In the United States, the movie opened on September 12, 2025, and has since set multiple records, including surpassing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to become the highest‑grossing international film in U.S. box‑office history with $128.6 million domestic gross.
What the studios say (official synopsis)
Crunchyroll’s synopsis frames the stakes succinctly: “With the head of the Demon Corps in danger, Tanjiro and the Hashira rush to the headquarters but are plunged into a deep descent… The destination … is the demons’ stronghold — the Infinity Castle.” It also reiterates Tanjiro’s allies — “Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira” — and highlights prior arcs with “Kyojuro Rengoku,” “Tengen Uzui,” “Muichiro Tokito,” and “Mitsuri Kanroji.”

Will there ever be a Demon Slayer season 5?
Multiple outlets emphasize that the franchise chose films over a TV season to conclude the Final Battle, which contains the “Infinity Castle” and “Sunrise Countdown” arcs. Some commentary pieces speculate that any TV “season 5” would only be possible years after the trilogy finishes. Today’s reporting provides no official confirmation of a TV return.
Where to watch
Seasons 1–4 stream on Crunchyroll. The first Infinity Castle film is in cinemas in many regions. Future home and streaming releases were not confirmed in the sources used here.
The bottom line on Demon Slayer season 5
The main anime show is still relevant, but fans should set expectations: the story’s conclusion is unfolding in theaters, not as a TV “season 5.” As of October 16, 2025, no source confirms a TV continuation.
