That, however, is no longer a secret as Fuji TV in Japan revealed their October shows today, and the second season of our favorite anime, aka Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Entertainment District Arc,  is among them.

According to the Japanese TV station, the anime series will air every Sunday.

 

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Entertainment District Arc will air through Fall and Winter

While we don’t know the actual date in October Demon Slayer will premiere, it is safe to say it is likely to be pretty early in the month, as Fuji TV the show’s two cours will be airing through both the Fall and Winter anime seasons.
