It’s hard to believe, but just one year ago, HUNTR/X took the stage and changed the world forever. And because birthdays and milestones are meaningful in the fandom, Hunters around the world will be grabbing their light sticks to cheer.
On June 20, KPop Demon Hunters will officially celebrate its one-year anniversary, and we’re kicking off the party early. Beginning June 10, fans will have new ways to return to the world of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, with special anniversary screenings and more surprises rolling out throughout the week.
Since its debut, KPop Demon Hunters has become more than a movie. Netflix’s most popular film went on to win two Academy Awards and has grown into a fan-fueled phenomenon, powered by the songs, style, action, and heart that made viewers fall for HUNTR/X, the pop-superstar trio secretly protecting humanity from demonic forces between performances and through their music.
Now, as the official anniversary approaches, events, activations, and merch drops will bring fans even closer to the world of HUNTR/X.
The festivities begin with special anniversary screenings around the world, including theatrical presentations, outdoor community screenings, and sing-along events where fans can experience the music and magic together. Netflix House locations will also join the celebration, with screenings in Philadelphia all week and a day full of fan activities on June 20 in both locations.
And there’s plenty more to come. Check back here, because throughout the week, Netflix will unveil additional anniversary updates, releases, events, and ways for fans to celebrate as KPop Demon Hunters officially turns a year old on June 20.
