Streaming service iQIYI is listing Demon Slayer season 2 with 18 episodes. Season 2 of the highly-anticipated anime premiered earlier today.
Screenshot taken from the iQIYI website, which is streaming Demon Slayer season 2 in select territories, shows the episode listing:
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.
LiSA is performing the opening theme “Akeboshi” and ending theme ”Shirogane” for the Mugen Train episodes.
The promotional reel, which also serves as a trailer for season 2, is now available worldwide:
