According to the website (via Anime News Network), Shizuka Ishigami will play Makio, Nao Tōyama will play Suma, and Atsumi Tanezaki will portray Hinatsuru. The three wives appear during the latest arc and communicate with Tengen during their stay in the Entertainment District while Uzui is battling. While they do get featured a handful of times in the manga, they aren’t fully shown off too much, so it’ll be interesting to see how often they are shown in the anime.
The Entertainment District Arc will pick up from chapter 70 of the highly popular manga series and will act as the second half of the second season of Demon Slayer. Taking place from chapters 70-99, the Entertainment District Arc sees Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu meet up with Tengen as they search for his missing wives who were investigating rumors of demons. Season 2 began with a seven-episode serialized adaptation of Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train, which was originally released in Japan last year and just formatted for television episodes.
