Get Ready For Demon Slayer’s Major Return in 2026

by

Over the past year, Demon Slayer has become incredibly popular, both in Japan and around the world. In 2025, the series saw another surge in popularity with the release of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 — Akaza’s Return. This film was a massive success, breaking records globally.

After the success of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie, everyone’s eager for more content from the series. Unfortunately, it looks like we won’t see much new animated material in 2026. It seems Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 is a big undertaking and will take time to get right. But there is something to be excited about! Fans in Japan will have the chance to see a Demon Slayer stage play, which is set to premiere in June 2026.

Demon Slayer Stage Play Is Coming To Japan

  • New Way To Experience The Story of Demon Slayer
  • Exciting New Characters To Meet

In 2025, Demon Slayer solidified its place as a leading anime. The series reached incredible heights with its Infinity Castle movie. Now that the movie is finished, fans are eager to see what happens next. Many are hoping for a stage play adaptation to tide them over until the next film.

This play isn’t likely to be performed outside of Japan in the near future. For now, fans will need to see it in Tokyo. Created by Tsuneyasu Motoyoshi, the show promises to be a fantastic experience for anyone who enjoys Demon Slayer and is able to attend.

Demon Slayer’s New Stage To Premiere In June 2026

The new Demon Slayer stage play is generating a lot of excitement! Since it’s being performed in Japan, fans outside the country will need to make travel arrangements if they want to attend.

Good news! We already know when the stage play will open: sometime in June 2026. That’s still a ways off, and the specific date will be announced later as details are finalized.

Demon Slayer’s Future After Infinity Castle Part 1 Is Bright

  • Two More Demon Slayer Movies Are Coming
  • The Series Will Grow Bigger Than Ever Before

While a stage play based on Demon Slayer might be enjoyable for some, it won’t reach most international fans. What fans are really hoping for is more animated content, and many are eager to find out the release date for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2.

The first part of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie came out in 2025, making a 2026 release for the second part unlikely. It’s more realistic to expect Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 around 2027, as the studio will likely need about two years to produce each film. However, the exact release date hasn’t been confirmed, so fans should watch for official announcements.

The last Demon Slayer movie is currently expected to come out in 2029, and it will likely mark the end of the series.

Many fans were excited for Jump Festa 2026, hoping to see big news about the second part of the Infinity Castle arc of Demon Slayer. However, the event ended up being a bit disappointing, with no updates on the movies or the continuation of the story. Don’t worry though – we can likely expect more information on Demon Slayer and other projects later this year.

Fans will have to be patient for now. While they wait for the next movie, they can enjoy other related events, like the upcoming Demon Slayer stage play, which is expected to be very popular. Those planning to travel to Japan might want to book flights and plan their trip around the play to experience it fully.

I’m really hoping this play will keep us entertained until the release of Infinity Castle Part 2 – the wait feels long!

You can now see Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 in theaters! If you’d prefer to read the story instead of waiting for the movies, the manga is available on Manga Plus. As for the anime, there are currently four seasons to enjoy, all of which you can stream on Crunchyroll.
