‘Demon Slayer’ Season 2 gets a new preview and vague release date

Demon Slayer is now a worldwide phenomenon after his arrival in the west on Netflix, and back in Japan, the film still breaks box office records left and right.

But now we’ve got a glimpse of what’s happening after the events of the film when the second season of Demon Slayer arrives. It just got a new, short trailer a preview of what it calls The Entertainment District Arc:

We only now have a loose release date for Demon Slayer season 2, which is some time in 2021. And if they say 2021, it probably means late 2021. Demon Slayer season 1 originally started in the fall of 2019, so we can see that there is a gap of two years between seasons. Needless to say, fans are excited to hear even the news that it’s coming this year.

This new season looks like it will be a departure from season 1, which took place mostly in nature and in wooded areas, with only a few stops in major cities. Now this main arc can take place completely in a city out of sight.

We get a few glimpses of characters in the trailer, but it’s hard to know what to make of it. I also haven’t seen the film yet, as it hasn’t been released yet, so I’m not sure how the story ended and whether it could be directly related to it. This woman certainly does not look, not very friendly and quite devilish:

It’s hard to underestimate how great Demon Slayer is in Japan, especially since he broke the all-time box office record of 6 billion yen, previously held for 19 years by Spirited Away, one of the most beloved animated films in history. Under it? Titanic and Frozen. So yes, that’s a big deal.

We do not yet know too much else about Demon Slayer season 2, but if there is a start, more previews will follow, so stay tuned.
