Briefly about the events of previous seasons

Tanjiro Kamado lost his father and now takes care of his family. He lives in the era of Taisho, and there are rumors among people about demons that hunt at night. One day, Tanjiro goes to a nearby town to sell charcoal and stays there overnight. Returning home the next day, the young man sees a terrible picture: his family was brutally killed, and only the eldest of the sisters, Nezuko, seems to be still alive. Tanjiro tried to take her to the doctor, but the reality was terrible. The girl was turned into a demon, and moreover, Giyu Tomioka, the hunter of these monsters, is already preparing to kill her.

Tanjiro manages to prove that Nezuko can control herself and still retain her humanity. Giyu sends the young man to the teacher Urokodaki, who trains the hero and sends him to the selection of hunters. Kamado manages to successfully it.

Tanjiro searches for a way to turn his sister back into a human throughout the story. The arcs of Final Selection, First Mission, Asakusa, House of Drums, Natagumo Mountain, Functional Recovery Training, Endless Train, and Red Light District have already been filmed.

What will happen in the fourth season of the Demon Slayer

The last story arc to be adapted was blacksmith village. The next one is a kind of "connecting arc" dedicated to training with the pillars, which gradually leads to the final battle. It is likely that season 4 will cover both remaining arcs at once, or the film adaptation will be split into two chickens. However, the creators have already stated that the Pillar Training arc will definitely form the basis of the season, but whether the final battle will enter the 4th season is not yet known.
