If you thought K-Pop Demon Hunters was just another animated movie, think again—this Netflix musical has taken the world by storm, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon and the streaming giant’s most-watched film ever.

“We knew younger female audiences and K-pop [and] anime fans would love this film, but it’s been incredibly gratifying to see it embraced by an even broader audience and become a favorite film for both adults and kids,” Netflix chairman Dan Lin told The Hollywood Reporter in August 2025.

The movie follows HUNTR/X—a K-pop girl group made up of Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo)—who secretly fight supernatural threats. Their double life becomes even more complicated when a rival boy band, the Saja Boys, arrives with dark secrets. The film’s Billboard-topping soundtrack and sing-along theatrical release helped turn it into a runaway hit, leaving fans eager for similar stories while awaiting a sequel.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly in August 2025, Kang reflected on the challenges of bringing such a sprawling story to life in just one movie. “We were trying to do a non-origin origin story with a concept that’s brand new to people,” she explained. “What is it about these girls that brought them into HUNTR/X and made them demon hunters? What is each of their backstory? How did they get chosen? What is that journey like?”

It's Going to Be a Long Wait for the 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' Sequel

She also hinted on what’s to come. “There was really not a space for the movie to show all that. So we really had to make these choices of what is essential to the story… If a sequel comes to life, then we can reveal more of that backstory.”

Netflix and Sony are aiming for a 2029 release for K-Pop Demon Hunters 2 — a long wait, but these epic animated adventures take time. While we countdown, check out our gallery below of movies that capture the same energy as K-Pop Demon Hunters.
