Get ready to get even more KPop, demonier, and as huntery as possible. Netflix’s smash-hit, Oscar-nominated animated film KPop Demon Hunters is returning for a sequel, with the fictional Korean girl group HUNTR/X coming back to lay down pop hits and smash evil boybands (and/or other demons).

Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans will once again direct their first project in an “exclusive multiyear writing and directing partnership” with Netflix.
Seeing as the first movie was Netflix’s self-reported most-popular film of all time, the company’s widest theatrical release and first ever box office #1, nominated in both the Best Animated Film and Best Original Song categories at this weekend’s Oscars (and seemingly a lock for at least one award, if not two), and the breakout song “Golden” topped the charts in more than 30 countries, and holding the number one spot on US charts for 18 non-consecutive weeks over six months last year, this sequel is likely just the next step of many.
Co-director Kang confirms as much, telling Netflix’s Tudum, “There’s so much more to this world we have built, and I’m excited to show you. This is only the beginning.”
