Following its June 20 release, KPop Demon Hunters has quickly become a global sensation. The animated Netflix fantasy, about a K-pop girl group who moonlight as demon hunters, has racked up over 56 million views and dominated the top 10 in 93 countries. With such success, fans are wondering: will there be a sequel?
While Netflix hasn’t officially greenlit KPop Demon Hunters 2, the film’s creators and cast are eager to continue the story. Co-directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans have hinted at deeper lore yet to be explored. “There are a lot of questions left unanswered and areas that are not explored,” Kang told Variety. “We had to make choices, but there’s so much more story there.”
The film ends on a hopeful but open note. Rumi, who embraces her half-demon identity, helps restore peace with the help of bandmates Mira and Zoey. Still, the sacrifice of the Saja Boys’ leader Jinu and his soul merging with Rumi opens the door for new conflicts and emotional twists in a sequel.
Cast members Ji-young Yoo, Arden Cho, and May Hong are all on board. Yoo told Mama’s Geeky, “I'll be honestly a little bummed if we can't do a sequel,” while Cho said she’d be “heartbroken” if it didn’t happen.
With high viewership and a chart-topping soundtrack, the demand is clear. Now fans just need Netflix to make it official.
