KPop Demon Hunters is undoubtedly one of the biggest films to come out in 2025. We bet that Sony really wishes it had bet big on this film and put it in theaters versus letting it go straight to streaming via Netflix. Then again, the film may not have been so successful without it being so accessible thanks to streaming. Either way, there is a legion of kids who love Huntr/x, the K-pop girl group who live double lives as demon hunters. So it is not at all shocking that a KPop Demon Hunters sequel is on the way; however, it is wild that it will not come out until 2029. But the good news is… The KPop Demon Hunters sequel WILL arrive in movie theaters this time.
The KPop Demon Hunters Sequel Sets 2029 Release Date
We get it. There’s a lot of work that goes into putting an animated film from inception to completion. However, a lot of those kids who dug the first film are going to be totally different people by the time the KPop Demon Hunters sequel comes around. But maybe that’s not a huge deal considering that there will be another group of K-pop lovin’ kiddos to take their place.
Maybe the production schedule will move quicker than expected and we can get the KPop Demon Hunters sequel sooner rather than in 2029. It is a phenomenon after all with an animated group that has three songs on the Billboard 100 charts, according to Variety. And it holds the record for the most watched Netflix movie of all-time. That’s very wild considering that Netflix’s first original movie was Lilyhammer in 2012.
The KPop Demon Hunters Sequel Will Recive ‘Broad’ Release in Movie Theaters
The good news is that KPop Demon Hunters sequel WILL head to movie theaters this time. Netflix’s co-CEO shared that the KPop Demon Hunters sequel would receive a “very broad theatrical release” before heading to streaming. He went on to explain “What we’re doing is looking at this model and saying, ‘Okay, how do we serve movie lovers who may want to see this movie in a theater,’ and ‘How do we not harm value to Netflix?’ ‘How do we position the film best in the world?’”
Well, KPop Demon Hunters surely did position itself as one of the best movies in the world. And we expect sending the sequel to the big screen will help its sequel achieve even greater supremacy.
What Will The KPop Demon Hunters Sequel Be About?
There are so many questions to explore with Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, and a lot of lore that the first film touches on rather lightly. For now, we don’t yet know any plot details about the the KPop Demon Hunters Sequel. We will have to wait and see what this next round has in store.
