KPop Demon Hunters Sequel Greenlit by Netflix

Netflix Greenlights KPop Demon Hunters Sequel: Directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans Return for Multi-Year Partnership

The original animated musical KPop Demon Hunters, featuring a K-pop girl group battling demons through music, has been a massive hit for Netflix. The film, released in June 2025, became the most-watched movie on the platform and launched several chart-topping songs.

The directors, Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, are returning for a sequel as part of a multi-year partnership with Netflix. The first film featured a strong voice cast, including Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, and Daniel Dae Kim, with singing voices by Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami.

The sequel is up for two Oscars at the ninety-eighth Academy Awards on March fifteenth: best animated feature and best original song for Golden. The original films soundtrack will be performed live at the ceremony, blending traditional Korean instruments and dance.

Fans and creators are thrilled with the news, with Kang expressing deep pride in sharing more of this Korean-inspired world and its characters, and Appelhans calling it like family and looking forward to evolving the story with fresh music and animation blends. No casting details for the sequel have been announced yet.
