The Black Butler watch order covers three seasons, a stack of OVAs, and the Book of the Atlantic film, all placed in correct chronological order. Start with the first season's 24 episodes, watch the His Butler, On Stage OVA, then move into the 12-episode second season. A run of OVAs follows — including the two-part Ciel in Wonderland, Welcome to the Phantomhive's, and The Tale of Will the Shinigami — before the 10-episode Book of Circus season. The two-part Book of Murder OVA comes next, and the story concludes with the Book of the Atlantic film. Because the OVAs are scattered between the seasons rather than bundled together, following the listed order is the cleanest way to keep everything in sequence. This guide shows where to start and exactly how each OVA and the movie fit between the seasons.
