No surprise here: Netflix and Sony are in talks about making a sequel to KPop Demon Hunters, according to <\/a>The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>. The film was made under Sony\u2019s first-look deal with Netflix for making streaming movies. Per THR, the sequel can only go forward if both parties agree on terms, and there may be new terms to work out now that the movie is a megahit. But also, because it\u2019s a megahit, both parties are probably pretty motivated to get another one greenlit. Insiders for the outlet say Sony has had \u201cpreliminary conversations\u201d with directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans about the sequel, but there won\u2019t be a deal until Netflix and Sony come to one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, it\u2019s only a matter of time. \u201cI think it\u2019s going to be part of our lives for a bit. I don\u2019t see the fandom slowing down,\u201d Kang told <\/a>THR<\/a> earlier this month<\/a>, adding, \u201cWe hit an all time high in viewership in week five, which is absolutely insane.\u201d The success of KPop Demon Hunters has only gotten more insane; the limited theatrical release sing-a-long version topped last weekend\u2019s box office<\/a>, and the movie has officially become Netflix\u2019s most-watched film<\/a> of all time. On top of that, fictional band Huntrix made history this week when the film\u2019s soundtrack became the first to ever hold four of the Top 10 spots on the Billboard Hot 100.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNetflix allows our films to build their audience organically and over time. As word of mouth spread and social media caught on, we saw viewing really take off and the movie became a cultural phenomenon\u2014it\u2019s one of the only films to grow its audiences in its fifth and six weeks of release,\u201d Netflix chairman Dan Lin shared with THR. He told the outlet that Netflix is proud of KPop Demon Hunter\u2019s success and \u201care excited to explore what could be the next adventure for Huntrix.\u201d He said, \u201cKPDH\u2018s success comes from its original, fresh story so if we do embark on a sequel, we would want to take our time to make sure that any future stories we tell with our favorite demon hunters retains the flair and uniqueness of the first film.\u201d<\/p>\n
