Get the microphones out again and rehearse new dance routines. After months of speculation and anticipation from fans, it’s finally confirmed that Netflix will continue its most successful film of all time. “KPop Demon Hunters 2” is officially confirmed.
“KPop Demon Hunters 2” is “just the beginning”
Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation have jointly officially announced that “KPop Demon Hunters 2” is in the works. Some key players behind the scenes are confirmed to return.
Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans will again write the screenplay and direct. For both, the sequel marks the start of a multi-year contract under which they will exclusively write and direct new animated titles for Netflix. Who knows, perhaps this will lead to more stories about the pop band Huntr/x beyond “KPop Demon Hunters 2.”
Kang is already hinting at that possibility. In a statement, she said, “There’s so much more to this world we’ve created, and I’m excited to show it to you. This is just the beginning.”
When “KPop Demon Hunters 2” is set to release
There’s no specific release date for the sequel yet. However, a rough timeframe of 2029 has been defined. Fans will have to wait a bit longer to see Rumi, Mira, and Zoey back in action.

“KPop Demon Hunters” quickly became the most successful Netflix film of all time after its release, breaking several records.
