Netflix confirmed on th that a subsequence to KPop Demon Hunters, the streaming platform's to the highest degree watched shoot of all clip, is officially in development.
The new installment will extend Netflix's creative collaboration with co-directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, and marks the first project under their new exclusive multi-year writing and directing deal for animation.
"I feel immense pride as a Korean filmmaker that the audience wants more from this Korean story and our Korean characters," Kang, who grew up in Toronto, said in the announcement. "There's so much more to this world we have built and I'm excited to show you. This is only the beginning."
Animated by Sony Pictures Animation, the original musical film follows K-pop girl trio Huntrix — Rumi, Mira and Zoey — as they balance their superstardom with secret lives as demon hunters. Lead vocalists EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami propelled the movie's breakout anthem Golden to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

It has two Oscar nominations — for best animated feature and best original song.
Golden also won a Grammy for best song written for visual media — the first Grammy ever awarded to a K-Pop song.

In January 2026, Netflix announced the movie had shattered platform records, drawing 482 million views over a six-month period, along with 32 million views for its lyric videos. Its soundtrack continues to trend globally.
Appelhans, speaking to Reuters in January, stressed that a sequel would need a clear creative direction from the beginning.
"You have to know where you're headed because otherwise you will be lost immediately," he said. "So, we'll just have to do that again and make something that we love and that means something to us. And then I think if you do that well, it works and other people connect to it."
