K-Pop Demon Hunters 2 Release Date Confirmed for 2029 as Netflix Keeps Fans Waiting

The world’s fiercest demon-slaying idols are taking a long encore break. Netflix has officially confirmed that KPop Demon Hunters 2 is on the way, but fans will have to wait until 2029 before Huntr/x returns to light up the stage again.

According to Variety, the sequel to Netflix’s record-breaking animated film is now officially in production after a deal with Sony but the long timeline hints at an ambitious project. The reason behind the delay seems clear: world-class animation takes time. Just like Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, this sequel aims to raise the bar in both storytelling and visuals.

🎶 KPop Demon Hunters Took the World by Storm

When KPop Demon Hunters dropped on June 20, 2025, it didn’t just trend it exploded. The movie followed Huntr/x, a fictional K-pop girl group made up of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey idols who battle demons when they’re not selling out world tours.

Netflix described it best: “When K-pop superstars aren’t performing for millions, they’re secretly saving them from supernatural threats.”

With stunning animation, addictive music, and action-packed battles, the movie became a global phenomenon. Within weeks, its soundtrack produced three Billboard chart-toppers “Golden,” “Your Idol,” and “Soda Pop” and even inspired an SNL parody sketch in October 2025.

🌍 Breaking Records and Redefining Netflix Animation

KPop Demon Hunters quickly became Netflix’s most-watched film ever, smashing records with 266 million views worldwide. It beat Red Notice, Squid Game, and even Wednesday in total views.

Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, the film also hit theaters in a surprise sing-along version, topping the box office across 1,700 theaters. It proved that animated musicals could dominate both streaming and cinema.

However, the Halloween re-release didn’t quite match the first wave, earning $5.9 million during its debut weekend. Still, the film’s legacy remained unshakable and fans demanded more.

👑 Legacy of the Demon-Slaying Divas

Even with the long wait until 2029, KPop Demon Hunters 2 has already built legendary hype. Its mix of K-pop flair, supernatural fantasy, and girl-power storytelling has turned it into a true cultural icon.

Directors Kang and Appelhans confirmed that while there’s no live-action adaptation in the works yet, the sequel aims to be bigger, bolder, and more musically powerful than ever before. Netflix is also using the momentum to boost its original animation lineup, showing that global audiences crave unique, vibrant stories.

🌈 The Road to 2029

Yes, 2029 feels far away but for Huntr/x, perfection takes time. Expect dazzling new music, evolved animation, and a deeper emotional journey when they return.

Until then, fans can rewatch KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix and stream the soundtrack’s hits on Spotify and Apple Music while waiting for their idols to rise again.

💫 KRUNIME Verdict

KPop Demon Hunters 2 isn’t just another animated sequel it’s a global event in the making. Netflix is betting big on its demon-slaying idols, and fans around the world are ready to sing, fight, and dance their way into 2029.
