The second season of Demon Slayer will air as a simulcast anime title on the Crunchyroll and Funimation platforms for premium subscribers and free users.

Crunchyroll also offers a two-week free trial period, but membership costs a little more at £ 7.99 per month.

Fortunately, the epic comeback of the animated series will most likely arrive on all platforms after the nationwide broadcast ends, with all three already airing the first season.
