Demon Slayer Season 5 Will Happen

Given the success of the Infinity Castle Movie, there is no reason for ufotable to work on a television series. The studio also has to produce two more movies, which are needed to bring the Demon Slayer anime to an end. Naturally, the studio's focus will be on wrapping up production on the remaining movies.

Despite the studio being busy, it is completely possible that Demon Slayer will get a fifth and final season. A good example is the Mugen Train arc. Originally, it was just released as a movie, but the studio decided to turn it into a full-fledged season, and the decision paid off. Demon Slayer's fame in Japan is something else, and it is only matched by One Piece, Naruto, and Dragon Ball. The Mugen Train Movie also broke multiple records, and ufotable could have left it there. However, the studio wanted to give fans more content.

Using the same logic, it's highly likely that Infinity Castle will be converted into a television series. However, it will definitely take longer for it to be released. As previously stated, ufotable has to focus on the remaining two movies, so it will only want to start working on the television series once everything else is complete.

Demon Slayer Season Will Release After 2030

If Demon Slayer Season 5 is announced, there is a strong chance that it could be released in 2030 or later, and the reason is simple. Multiple reports suggest Infinity Castle Movies 2 and 3 will be released before 2030. So, ufotable will be busy for at least the next few years. The studio wouldn't want to divide its staff until the movies are wrapped up.

The studio can also release Season 5 before 2030, but it will have to be split into at least three parts, just like the movies. Additionally, it could also put added pressure on the studio and the staff. Therefore, it's better to finish the production of two movies before moving on to the television series instead of handling both projects side by side.

Demon Slayer's fifth season will cover the entirety of the Infinity Castle Arc, meaning it will include Tanjiro and the Demon Slayers' last battle against Muzan and his underlings. Having the movies split into a regular season will be a great choice for fans who prefer not to sit in the same place for hours.
