Season 2 of Demon Slayer will have two arcs – Mugen Train and Entertainment District. Mugen Train will adapt the storyline that is already in the movie but will add more scenes, along with an all-new first episode. The anime will also faithfully adapt the original manga, with no changes. The Entertainment District arc will start on December 5, while the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Train Arc was previously announced with 7 episodes. This leaves Entertainment District with a total of 11 episodes, but the first episode will be 1-hour long.
