KPop Demon Hunters is getting a sequel.
The most popular Netflix movie of all time, the story of a girl group who use secret identities to protect their fans from supernatural forces, has crossed cultural barriers and earned fans around the world.
The follow-up marks the first project under co-directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans’ new and exclusive multi-year deal with the streaming giant.

The first movie, which was released in June 2025 and became Netflix’s most popular movie of all time with more than 325 million views in its first 91 days of being released, is up for two Oscars.
It’s up for best animated feature, and the movie’s title track Golden is up for best original song.
The film has already earned a Critics’ Choice award a Golden Globe, and Golden – which climbed to the top of the official singles chart last August and became the first K-pop number one in 13 years – has been performed at both the BAFTAs and Brits.
It will also be performed again at Sunday’s Oscars.
Details of the storyline, which in the first movie pitted Huntr/X – made up of Rumi, Mira and Zoey – against rival boy band and demons in disguise, Saja Boys, are yet to be revealed.

Speaking about the sequel, Kang said: “I feel immense pride as a Korean filmmaker that the audience wants more from this Korean story and our Korean characters.
“There’s so much more to this world we have built, and I’m excited to show you. This is only the beginning.”
The film stars The Hangover’s Ken Jeong, Hellboy actor Daniel Dae Kim, and the singing voices behind Huntr/X, Ejae who plays Rumi, Audrey Nuna who plays Mira, and Rei Ami who plays Zoey.

Appelhans added: “These characters are like family to us, their world has become our second home.
“We’re excited to write their next chapter, challenge them, and watch them evolve, and continue pushing the boundaries of how music, animation, and story can come together.”
A release date is yet to be announced.
