Fans of the surprise 2025 Netflix animated phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters are understandably eager to know whether the story of HUNTR/X will continue and the answer now leans solidly toward yes. After dominating Netflix’s viewing charts and becoming the streamer’s most-watched animated film ever, plans are moving forward for a sequel while Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation expand the franchise’s future.
As of late 2025, Netflix and Sony have reportedly finalized a deal to make a KPop Demon Hunters sequel, with a targeted release in 2029, several industry outlets say. This sequel will continue the story of the K-pop girl group Rumi, Mira and Zoey as they balance pop superstardom with demon-hunting duties.
Directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, who co-helmed the original film, have openly discussed having more stories to tell within the world of KPop Demon Hunters. They’ve hinted at exploring unanswered questions left by the first movie, including deeper backstories for key characters and expanding the lore around the demon threat.
In addition to a full feature sequel aimed for 2029, both Netflix and Sony have eyed other potential expansions of the KPop Demon Hunters universe, such as short films, additional animated installments, television projects, and even stage adaptations. These ideas are still early in development, with more details likely to be confirmed as production moves forward.
For the moment, while no official release date has been publicly confirmed by Netflix, the combination of strong viewership performance, multi-platform fan engagement and creator interest practically guarantees more KPop Demon Hunters content is on the way, fans just have to be patient for the next chapter in HUNTR/X’s story.
