Netflix and Sony make KPop Demon Hunters 2 official in major new deal

Netflix confirmed on Thursday that a sequel to KPop Demon Hunters is officially a go, announcing a multiyear writing and directing partnership with filmmakers Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans across animation. The deal teases the next chapter for triple-threat demon slayers Rumi, Mira, and Zoey.

Kang said, "I feel immense pride as a Korean filmmaker that the audience wants more from this Korean story and our Korean characters. There’s so much more to this world we have built, and I’m excited to show you. This is only the beginning." Appelhans added, "These characters are like family to us, their world has become our second home.

We’re excited to write their next chapter, challenge them, and watch them evolve — and continue pushing the boundaries of how music, animation, and story can come together." Netflix Film chairman Dan Lin said, "There’s so much more story to tell, and we can’t wait to bring more Huntr/x to fans everywhere." Plans for a sequel haven't exactly been a secret.
