\n\tAlmost a year after it first debuted on Netflix, the hit animated musical<\/a> is set for a Criterion Collection release on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD. This marks the first time the film has been available for viewing outside of streaming, save for a brief theatrical run last summer and a second run of a \u201csing-along\u201d version<\/a> last fall.<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNEW RELEASE\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tKPop Demon Hunters (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\tAmazon is showing a release date of Dec. 31 for the KPop Demon Hunters Criterion Collection disc, though it may just be a placeholder (the cover art seen at right is also not finalized). The release date has moved a few times according to the Amazon listing, and it\u2019s likely Sony Pictures will want to have the Blu-ray and DVD out before the holidays for gifting season<\/a>.\t<\/p>\n \n\tNot much is known about the upcoming physical release, though Criterion Collection editions usually include bonus content and some sort of upscaled audio and visual presentation. To wit: the Amazon listing includes a 4K version of the film on Blu-ray<\/a>. And the writers of the film have teased a number of deleted scenes<\/a>, including a sub-plot modeled on the \u201cIdol Star Athletics Championships,\u201d a competition event in Korea that features K-pop idols competing in sports and team challenges.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tExplore\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n See latest videos, charts and news<\/p>\n \n\tPast Criterion Collection editions, like the recently released Monty Python\u2019s Life of Brian<\/a>, have included everything from audio commentary from the cast and crew, to a \u201cmaking of\u201d documentary, and animated stills. As the distribution company states on its website, Criterion is dedicated to promoting a film \u201cas its maker would want it seen, in state-of-the-art restorations\u201d and with \u201cspecial features designed to encourage repeated watching and deepen the viewer\u2019s appreciation of the art of film.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tALSO AVAILABLE\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tKPop Demon Hunters (The Criterion Collection) [DVD]\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\tPre-order KPop Demon Hunters on Blu-ray, DVD or 4K Ultra HD now on Amazon.com<\/a>.

Already the most-viewed original title<\/a> in Netflix history, KPop Demon Hunters, also took home two Oscars<\/a>, for Best Animated Feature, and Best Original Song for the hit single, \u201cGolden.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tFor more product recommendations<\/a>, check out ShopBillboard\u2019s roundup of the best KPop Demon Hunters merch<\/a>, and shop the official trading cards release here<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\tAbout the Author\t<\/p>\n![\"KPop](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1770912734_392_lazyload-fallback.gif\")
