"Will there be a sequel to 'KPop Demon Hunters 2' on Netflix? Here's what's rumored about the anticipated movie's continuation"
In the realm of animated series, KPop Demon Hunters has proven to be a standout success for Netflix, claiming the title of the streaming giant's most-watched animated original ever[1]. With an impressive 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the series has captured the hearts of viewers worldwide.
The hype surrounding KPop Demon Hunters shows no signs of dying down, suggesting a potential confirmation of its future soon[2]. Both directors, Maggie Kang and Appelhans, have expressed interest in revisiting or expanding the KPop Demon Hunters world[3]. Co-director Maggie Kang stated that they hit an all-time high in viewership in week five, which is absolutely insane[4].
Netflix is "excited to explore what could be the next adventure for Huntrix"[1], and it seems they might be moving swiftly into production, given the established character models and world. If all major players agree on the right story or new way to explore the universe, a KPop Demon Hunters 2 seems likely[5].
Most of the original cast, including Adrien Cho, Maya Hong, and Giang Yu, have expressed interest in returning, and new characters, such as GU's younger sister, might be introduced to deepen the storyline[1]. As of now, KPop Demon Hunters remains Netflix's No. 1 watched show[6].
However, an official announcement about a sequel has not been made by Netflix yet. In the meantime, viewers are content with streaming KPop Demon Hunters on repeat. The series has overtaken movies like "The Adam Project" and "Bird Box" to become Netflix's fourth most-watched English-language movie of all time[7].
Rumours of potential side stories and unanswered questions in the first film have sparked speculation about a sequel[4]. Kang mentions the existence of these possibilities, while Appelhans notes that there are "so many unanswered questions, in a good way, and so many avenues that could be their own story, so many possibilities"[8].
Reports suggest that there are plans for not just one, but two animated sequels, a live-action remake, and possibly a stage musical for KPop Demon Hunters. If all goes as planned, fans could be looking forward to a summer 2026 release for KPop Demon Hunters 2. Dan Lin, a producer, has also expressed interest in exploring potential sequel opportunities[5].
Stay tuned for official updates from Netflix on the future of KPop Demon Hunters. In the meantime, stream the original series and join the millions of fans in anticipation of the next adventure!
