The incredibly exciting Spring 2023 anime season has seen one of its most highly-anticipated titles premiere in recent weeks in the form of Demon Slayer season 3. Since then, the episodes that have followed have continued to impress both new and longtime fans of the series, with only minor gripes in adaptation and directorial choices.
It was thus exhilarating for fans to hear that Netflix, a much more accessible streaming platform, was set to finally add the entire previously released series. Similarly, fans are ecstatic that the series' release on Netflix appears to be global, encompassing India and other Asian countries. Especially thrilling is that in India, Netflix is also streaming season 3, also known as the Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village arc.
Season 3 is, however, unavailable in a few countries. Alternative streaming options for the third season are available to fans in these geographic regions.

Demon Slayer’s previously released seasons finally brought to Netflix in one complete package
On Monday, May 1, the official Twitter account for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba television anime adaptation revealed that Netflix has begun streaming the series’ Entertainment District arc (also referred to as “season 2"). The Mugen Train arc and film are considered separate entities outside of mainline television’s production.
With the acquisition of the Mugen Train and Entertainment District arcs, Netflix is now home to all previously released installments of the series. Particularly interesting is the fact that, as previously stated, India and other countries appear to be turning to Netflix for the currently airing third season. However, those who are unable to access season 3 on Netflix can turn to Crunchyroll or use VPN.
The Mugen Train arc first premiered in October 2021 as a retelling of the film of the same name into a television anime format. It originally premiered in October 2020. The Entertainment District arc premiered in December 2021 with a one-hour special following the conclusion of the Mugen Train arc.
The most recent arc in the series, the aforementioned Swordsmith Village arc, premiered on April 9, 2023 at 11:55 PM Japanese Standard Time. It debuted on Fuji TV with a one-hour special, which was also streamed by Crunchyroll. Crunchyroll is also streaming the anime continuously as it airs, and is set to produce dubs for the anime in English, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, and Hindi.
Written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge, the Demon Slayer television anime series is an adaptation of the manga of the same name. Gotouge’s manga series first premiered in February 2016, and was serialized until its conclusion in May 2020.
