The anime adaptation by Ufotable has received critical acclaim for its animation, music, and story, as well as its faithful adaptation of the manga.

Will there be a Demon Slayer Season 5?
As of now, there is no official confirmation or announcement about a fifth season of Demon Slayer. However, given the popularity and success of the anime series and the manga, it is very likely that a fifth season will be made eventually. The manga has already ended with 23 volumes and 205 chapters in May 2020, so there is enough source material for at least two more seasons of anime.
The fourth season is expected to cover the “Hashira Training” arc and part of the “Infinity Castle” arc from the manga. The “Infinity Castle” arc is the longest and final arc of the manga, spanning from the sixteenth to twenty-third volumes and comprising 69 chapters. It is possible that this arc will be split into two seasons or adapted into a movie or a series of movies.
If we assume that a fifth season will cover the rest of the “Infinity Castle” arc from the manga, then we can expect it to have around 24 episodes or more. However, this is just speculation and nothing has been confirmed yet.
When will Demon Slayer Season 5 be Released?
Since there is no official announcement about a fifth season of Demon Slayer yet, we cannot say for sure when it will release. However, based on the previous release schedule of the anime series and the film, we can make some educated guesses.
The first season aired from April to September 2019, followed by the film in October 2020. The second season aired from October 2021 to February 2022, followed by the third season from April to June 2023. The fourth season is scheduled to air from October 2023 to February 2024.
If we follow this pattern, then we can expect a fifth season to air sometime in late 2024 or early 2025. However, this is just an estimate and it may change depending on various factors such as production delays, COVID-19 pandemic situation, availability of staff and cast members, etc.
