After its massive success across the globe last year where it earned over $700 million worldwide, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba The Movie: Infinity Castle is finally set to arrive on Netflix.
The latest film is directed by Haruo Sotozaki and produced by Ufotable, and written by the studio's staff members. It is a direct sequel to the fourth season of the anime television series as well as its fourth, fifth, and sixth film adaptations, following Mugen Train (2020) and compilation films To the Swordsmith Village (2023) and To the Hashira Training (2024). It is based on the Infinity Castle arc of the 2016–20 manga series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotouge. The film was released on September 12 last year in India, which was two months after its premiere in Japan. It surpassed the record of the highest-grossing film in the country.
Demon Slayer recorded the biggest anime opening weekend in the country with Rs 48 crore and eventually crossed the Rs 65 crore mark.
The film was a mega hit throughout the world where it broke multiple box office records, becoming the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2025 and the highest-grossing international film in the US. It overtook The Simpsons Movie (2007) as the highest-grossing film based on an animated television series was the second highest-grossing traditionally animated film, behind The Lion King (1994).
An excerpt from our CE review of the film read, "The tesseract-like structure of the Infinity castle, a sprawling design marvel that extends into the infinite void in all directions, lends itself to some of the most creative and breathtaking visuals put to screen, anime or otherwise. Demon Slayer franchise’s signature fight animation and choreography are stretched to their glorious extent."
The cast of the film features voices by Natsuki Hanae, Akari Kitō, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Hiro Shimono, Takahiro Sakurai, and Akira Ishida.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba The Movie: Infinity Castle is set to release on Netflix on July 28.
