The third season of Demon Slayer finished its run in June 2023, but with the gripping final episode, fans were treated with a little twist and couldn't wait for season 4 to hit.
Season 3 finished strong by confirming season 4, showcasing the strongest Hashira being all set up for taking on the rest of the Upper Moons.
Season 4 releases way earlier than anyone expected: special screenings start on February 2, 2024 in Tokyo and continue until February 25 in Hong Kong and London. So, the debut of season 4 will follow the third season's recipe.

There are also some new names on this list, that didn't appear in season 3, but as we already know how the manga unfolded, we can make an educated guess.
Demon Slayer Season 4: Plot
As mentioned before, with the manga being finished already, we pretty much know what the plot for the upcoming season will be (except they drastically change things).
For those of you that are curious, we're talking about the Hashira Training story arc from the manga. In this arc we will see Tanjiro train with the strongest Demon Slayer, Gyomei Himejima, to prepare for future battles – the calm before the storm, if you will.
We will also finally get some backstory for the Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka as well as a re-introduction of the Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa. It looks like we might get some more time with the Snake Hashira Obanai Iguro as well, so stay tuned.
The story is really giving us more and more time with those powerhouses, and we're loving every second of it!
Obviously, the demons will be up to something as well, as Muzan continues his search for a way to survive sunlight.
For the time being, there's nothing left to do but wait for season 4 to hit the screens – thankfully, February isn't that far away.
