Oscar-winning animated hit "KPop Demon Hunters" is getting a sequel. Netflix and Sony have confirmed that a new installment is in the works, and it will be once again written and directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans. The sequel will be released in 2029. Appelhans and Kang have signed an exclusive multi-year writing and directing deal with Netflix across animation.
Kang had this to say: "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".
Netflix’s chief content officer Bela Bajaria said: "With 'KPop Demon Hunters', Maggie and Chris didn't just reach audiences, they ignited a global fandom that crossed languages, generations, and genres. We're incredibly proud to deepen our partnership with them and, together with our partners at Sony Pictures Animation, build this universe in ways that will surprise and delight fans all over the world."
Sony Pictures Animations presidents Kristine Belson and Damien de Froberville added: "Championing the bold creative visions of our filmmakers is at the heart of everything we do at Sony Pictures Animation. Maggie and Chris brought their incredibly distinct perspectives to this film, telling a story audiences embraced around the globe. We are thrilled to work with them to expand their vision in the next chapter."
Plot details for the sequel have not been revealed, but the filmmakers have said they are "excited to write their next chapter, challenge them and watch them evolve. These characters are like family to us. Their world has become our second home".
Developed and produced by Sony Pictures Animation and released on Netflix as part of a licensing deal, "KPop Demon Hunters" was a massive hit, ranking as the streamer's most popular movie of all time, and even managed to gross $24 million in theaters when Netflix brought a sing-along version to theaters for fan events in the fall of 2025. At the 2026 Academy Awards, it won two Oscars for Best Animated Feature and Original Song for "Golden".
