In what order should I watch Demon Slayer, including the movies?

Starting Demon Slayer for the first time and the movie/season structure is confusing — I've heard the Mugen Train movie is also a season? What's the correct order, and can I skip the recap movies?

Simple release-order path, nothing skippable in the wrong place:

  1. Season 1 (26 episodes)
  2. Mugen Train — the movie or the 'Mugen Train Arc' TV version (7 episodes). They're the same story; the TV cut adds one prologue episode. Pick one, don't watch both.
  3. Season 2 — Entertainment District Arc
  4. Season 3 — Swordsmith Village Arc
  5. Season 4 — Hashira Training Arc
  6. Infinity Castle films — the current theatrical continuation.

Safe to skip: the compilation/recap films (like the 'To the Hashira Training' theatrical recap) — they're trailers-plus for people between seasons. The only real trap is skipping Mugen Train entirely because 'it's just a movie': it's a mainline arc and season 2 assumes you've seen it.
