It’s here!
Season 3 of Demon Slayer is finally upon us, with titular demon Tanjiro back on our screens alongside his sister Nezuko who, rather awkwardly, is a demon herself (yikes!), but one her brother refuses to extinguish (phew!).
The series is now working its way through the Swordsmith Village arc which, incredibly, raises the stakes even further.
On arriving at the new location after recovering from his coma, Tanjiro was introduced to a raft of fresh faces, all of whom will have a part to play in the latest chapter of the show.
The season 3 premiere has been and gone, but when can you expect episode 2?

How many episodes will Demon Slayer season 3 have?

It’s expected that Demon Slayer season 3 will follow in the footsteps of previous seasons with an 11-episode arc.
That means there’s plenty of time to delve into the arc, or into previous seasons if you haven’t yet caught up.
