Demon Slayer season 3 release schedule: how many episodes are there?
As of writing, we don't know exactly how many episodes there will be of Demon Slayer season 3. However, we have a pretty good idea of the season length.
The previous full season, Entertainment District, covered chapters 70-99 in the manga source material and lasted for 11 episodes. The Swordsmith Village arc will cover chapters 100-127. On that evidence, we can expect another 11 or 12-episode season and not a bumper 26-episode run like the first season was.
