Article Summary

  • KPop Demon Hunters 2 is officially moving forward, with Sony Animation and Netflix eyeing a 2029 release.
  • The original film gained major momentum on Netflix after a modest theatrical debut earlier in the summer.
  • Plans for a live-action remake were declined, but production on the animated sequel is underway.
  • Fans can expect a four-year wait as the creative team prepares the next chapter in this breakout animated franchise.

Now here comes quite possibly the least surprising news of the year: the inevitable sequel for KPop Demon Hunters is moving forward, and, according to Deadline, we have a tentative release year of 2029. The film was initially released to Netflix over the summer rather quietly. The movie had a small theatrical release that didn't make much of an impact, but once the movie picked up steam on Netflix, it shot up like a rocket and has been impossible to stop ever since. When Elio bombed, it really seemed like it was going to be a bad year for original animation. However, KPop Demon Hunters has shown that if you make a good movie, people will show up and support it in every single aspect. The idea of a live-action remake was recently shut down, but an animated sequel? Absolutely. Let's just hope fans remember that animated films are a labor of love that takes a while to make, hence the four-year wait.
