"I feel immense pride as a Korean film-maker 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."
"I've seen a lot of comments on YouTube interviews that have been voted right to the top that say something along the lines of, If there's going to be a sequel, let them cook. Don't rush it. We can all wait.' The audiences are so media savvy now."
"The animated adventure, about a demon-hunting music trio called Huntrix, was originally made by Sony Pictures before being released on Netflix as part of a first-look deal. It became a runaway success after it was launched on the platform last summer, becoming the most-watched original film in Netflix history."
Netflix and Sony have officially greenlit a sequel to KPop Demon Hunters, the record-breaking animated film that became the most-watched original film in Netflix history. Writer-directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans will return for the sequel and have signed an exclusive writing and directing deal with Netflix. Kang expressed pride in the global audience's enthusiasm for the Korean story and characters. Appelhans emphasized the importance of taking time to create quality work rather than rushing production. A 2029 release date is considered premature given animation's extensive production requirements. Netflix's chief content officer praised the first film for building a global fandom across languages and generations. The original film achieved unprecedented success, including a theatrical singalong release and becoming Netflix's first number-one film at the US box office.
