So, how can you watch Demon Slayer season 3 around the world, legally via online streaming?
How to watch Demon Slayer season 3: The Swordsmith Village Arc

Demon Slayer season 3 is also set to be made available on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu; however, access is frustratingly limited to certain Asian territories.
These territories include Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, India, and Thailand, where the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime Video have been simulcasting the series for some time.
Unfortunately, as these platforms have not licensed the series for simulcast streaming outside of Asia (including the US and UK), this means will be a significant wait compared to the weekly broadcast available from Crunchyroll.
The good news is that fans can expect Demon Slayer season 3 to arrive on Netflix at some point in the future, although access will likely be limited to Netflix US. The current estimation is that The Swordsmith Village Arc will premiere on US Netflix around September 2024 – the Entertainment District Arc (season 2) arrives on May 1 in the United States.
