A New Chapter in the Demon Slayer Saga
Anime fans, mark your calendars — Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle – Part 1: Akaza Returns is finally landing in U.S. theaters on September 12, 2025.
This highly anticipated release is not a recap or compilation film like Swordsmith Village or Hashira Training. Instead, Infinity Castle continues directly after season four of the anime, serving as the opening act of a three-part finale that will bring Tanjiro’s journey to its conclusion.
Unsurprisingly, the film dominated the Japanese box office when it premiered in July, quickly becoming the highest-grossing movie of 2025 in the country. Now, American audiences will get their first chance to experience the beginning of this epic trilogy on the big screen.
Where Can You Watch Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Right Now?
For the moment, the only way to watch Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is in theaters. The film will debut in select cinemas across the United States on September 12. Fans can check listings and purchase tickets through platforms like Fandango.
There is currently no official streaming option available for the movie, so if you want to see Akaza’s return as soon as possible, heading to the cinema is your only choice.
Is Infinity Castle on Netflix, Prime Video, or Hulu?
The short answer: not yet.
- Netflix: While Netflix offers multiple Demon Slayer seasons, including the Hashira Training Arc, the new Infinity Castle film has not been added to its library.
- Prime Video: The movie is not available for rent or purchase on Amazon Prime Video at this time.
- Hulu: Season one of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is available to stream on Hulu, but the latest theatrical release has not arrived there.
For now, the film is a theatrical exclusive in North America.
When Will Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Stream Online?
While an official streaming release date has not been announced, there are strong indications of where Infinity Castle will end up.
The movie is being distributed in North America by Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures, which makes Crunchyroll the most likely first stop for streaming once the theatrical run ends. Historically, new Demon Slayer content has debuted on Crunchyroll before becoming available on other services like Hulu or Netflix.
- Crunchyroll: Plans range from $7.99 to $15.99 per month, with a 14-day free trial available for new subscribers.
- Hulu: Offers a 30-day free trial for new users. Afterward, the ad-supported plan costs $9.99/month, while the ad-free tier is $18.99/month.
- Disney+ Bundle: For those who want broader access, Hulu is also part of Disney+ bundles starting at $10.99/month, with premium packages that include Hulu, Disney+, and Max for $29.99/month.
Given the popularity of the series and its publisher ties, it’s highly likely that Infinity Castle will land on Crunchyroll first, before making its way to Hulu and eventually Netflix.
Catch Up Before You Head to the Theater
If you need a refresher on Tanjiro’s journey before diving into the trilogy, here’s where you can stream past seasons:
- Hulu: Season one of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
- Crunchyroll: Full series available, both dubbed and subbed.
- Netflix: Five arcs of Demon Slayer, including Hashira Training.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is set to be one of the most talked-about anime events of the year. While it’s not streaming on Netflix, Hulu, or Prime Video just yet, fans can catch it on the big screen starting September 12.
If past releases are any guide, Crunchyroll subscribers will likely be the first to see the film online once it leaves theaters. Until then, the cinematic experience is the only way to witness the next chapter in the battle against Muzan Kibutsuji and his demons.
