When Is The Demon Slayer Season 2 Entertainment District Arc Release Date?
It has already been announced that Demon Slayer Season 2 Episode 8, which is the start of the Entertainment District arc, will air in the first week of December. However, there have been concerns that this will be delayed as the second season faces a brief hiatus in late October.
