Demon Slayer Season 4 is underway, but many are wondering when the new episodes will be available to stream on Netflix.
Season 4 of Demon Slayer premiered on May 12, beginning the TV adaptation of the Hashira Training arc from the manga.
While the new season is expected to air weekly throughout the summer, U.S. audience members who don't subscribe to Crunchyroll are out of luck.
This leaves its streaming release on Netflix one of the most accessible ways to watch the new Demon Slayer season eventually.
When Will Demon Slayer Season 4 Stream on Netflix?
Seasons 1-3 of Demon Slayer are available to stream on Netflix. However, the gap between airing live/streaming on Crunchyroll to the entire season streaming on Netflix has been inconsistent.
While this makes it more difficult to precisely predict the Demon Slayer Season 4 Netflix release, there is still plenty to reference.
Demon Slayer Season 3, which aired from April 9 to June 18, 2023, made its Netflix debut 102 days later on September 28, 2023.
However, it is worth noting that Season 2 deviated from this pattern, as it did not arrive on Netflix until January 21, 2023, a significant 342 days after the finale aired on February 13, 2022.
This discrepancy makes it more challenging to pinpoint a definitive prediction for Season 4's Netflix release date. Nonetheless, given Season 3's recency, it appears that the window of time for Season 4's Netflix debut is more likely to align with that timeline.
Season 4 premiered on May 12, and assuming a weekly episode release schedule, the season is expected to conclude on July 21 if the season runs 11 episodes long.
If Season 4 follows its predecessor's pattern, it could hit Netflix in late October or early November 2024, roughly 100 days after its projected finale.
