The fifth season of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has not been announced, and Ufotable instead chose to do an Infinity Castle movie trilogy, which will be released on July 18, 2025, in Japan (September 12 internationally through Crunchyroll). On Reddit/X, there are fan leaks and rumors of a Spring 2026 TV drop in Hashira battles, instead of official information, which says there are reruns on April 5 on Fuji TV and Anime Japan 2026 announcements.

Trailers are leaked, but part 2/3 of the trilogy are anticipated to be released in 2026 during regular seasons.
