Will There Be A KPop Demon Hunters Sequel? Here's Everything We Know

Despite being released on Netflix six weeks ago, plenty of people are only just getting clued-up about the runaway success that the film KPop Demon Hunters has turned out to be.

As the title suggests, the animated musical focusses on HUNTR/X a K-pop girl group who also happen to be protect the world from demons when they’re outside of the spotlight.

However, HUNTR/X quickly meet their match in the Saja Boys, a new K-pop boyband who take the world by storm (and just happen to secretly be demons, intent on taking their female counterparts out).

Since it began streaming at the end of June, KPop Demon Hunters has won acclaim from both critics and viewers, smashed the record to become the most-watched animated original in Netflix’s history and even topped the UK singles chart with a stand-out song from its soundtrack.

At the time of writing, the movie is still the fourth most-watched on Netflix UK right now, with some commentators comparing KPop Demon Hunter’s success for the streaming giant to how Frozen helped revitalise Disney more than a decade ago.

The film industry being what it is in 2025, this naturally means fans have begun speculating about whether KPop Demon Hunters could become a franchise. So, what do we know so far about what’s next for HUNTR/X?

Will there be a KPop Demon Hunters sequel?

Given the film’s success, it seems extremely likely, with director Maggie Kang admitting to ScreenRant she’s already had ideas for what that could look like.

“There are always side stories, and there are things we’ve thought of while making this one,” she said. “There are a lot of questions that are answered, but not fully. I think there are a lot of pockets that we can explore.”

Meanwhile, a subsequent piece published in TheWrap claimed that Netflix exes are already eyeing two sequels.

However, it’s worth noting that none of this has actually been confirmed by Netflix yet, although we’ll be sure to keep you updated as soon as there’s more official news.

What else is being considered for the future of the KPop Demon Hunters brand?

Remember when we mentioned that KPop Demon Hunters’ success is being compared to Frozen? Well, it sounds like the folks at Netflix may well be using the Disney movie as a point of reference when it comes to turn turning their new film into a brand.

As well as two potential sequels, TheWrap’s piece claims that Netflix is also considering turning KPop Demon Hunters into a stage musical, as well as potentially putting together a live-action remake.

We’re all for striking while the iron’s hot and all, but this does sound like a lot when there’s always the option to just… make something new, using some of the ingredients of what’s made KPop Demon Hunters such a success, rather than just unapologetically treading over the same ground until people are sick of it? But let’s see…

HuffPost UK has contacted Netflix and Sony Pictures, the production company behind KPop Demon Hunters, for comment.
