• Netflix and Sony have inked a deal that'll see the musical sequel land in 2029
• Fans can likely expect additional spin-offs and shorts in the meantime

KPop Demon Hunters 2 looks to be definitely going ahead, but fans of the demon-hunting animation shouldn't expect to see it on their screens anytime soon, as Netflix is reportedly eyeing a 2029 release date.

That's according to Bloomberg, which has reported the world's best streaming service had finally inked a deal for the sequel with the original movie's creators, Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, and production company, Sony.

A four-year wait might sound like a long time, but that's a typical timeline for a major animated movie when looking at past projects. For example, there was a five-year gap between Sony releasing Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the latter of which became the studio's highest-grossing animated movie to date.

While the news hasn't been confirmed by Sony or Netflix yet, it's almost certainly going ahead as the two entertainment juggernauts have been confirmed to be discussing a deal for a sequel movie since August, so it's likely that those talks have finally come to a close.

What can fans expect from a KPop Demon Hunters sequel?

No-one needed a crystal ball to see that KPop Demon Hunters would get a second act. The film has become Netflix's most-watched movie of all-time and continues to rank among the most-streamed titles across streaming platforms – and that's not even mentioning the success of its soundtrack or its subsequent cultural cachet.

The movie about a world-saving female pop trio has such a large (and growing) fandom that not even Netflix was prepared for the overwhelming attention it has received, with the streamer reversing its adverse stance on theatrical releases by bringing a sing-a-long version of the megahit to the big screen and retailers scrambling to get their hands on merchandise inspired by the film.

Like the sequel, fans will have to wait until next year to see any official KPop Demon Hunters products (Netflix must be kicking itself with Christmas coming up), which should help maintain its popularity, but what about in the years after? Can fans expect to see any other KPop Demon Hunters projects?
