KPop Demon Hunters is, unshockingly, getting a sequel. But it’s going to take a bit of time to make, so you’re not going to see it until 2029.<\/p>\n
This news comes from Variety<\/a>, following reports earlier this year<\/a> that KPop Demon Hunters would in fact be getting sequels (plural). According to Variety, Netflix and Sony have finalized a deal for the direct sequel, but animated movies simply take a long time to make.<\/p>\n It’s no surprise that KPop Demon Hunters has garnered this much support for follow-ups. The film is literally the most popular thing Netflix has ever put out<\/a>, even beating out Squid Game’s first season, Wednesday, and Stranger Things. Despite releasing all the way back in June, it remained the second most-popular movie to watch on Netflix last week (ending 11\/2, behind House of Dynamite) and has spent 20 weeks in a row in Netflix’s top 10, usually in the first or second spot. 14 million people watched it last week alone. Yeah, I’d be hustling to get a sequel made, too.<\/p>\n If you somehow haven’t watched it yet, KPop Demon Hunters is a Sony Pictures Animation film following Korean pop band Huntrix, a trio who moonlight as, demon hunters battling against an evil demon king intent on devouring humanity. In our 8\/10 review<\/a>, we called it “a stunning animated action musical with terrific fight sequences, catchy musical numbers, and an ample amount of harmony and heart.”<\/p>\n
