KPop Demon Hunters is officially returning with a sequel.

According to reports from Bloomberg and other U.S. outlets on March 12 (local time), Netflix confirmed production of KPop Demon Hunters 2. The platform also signed a multi-year writing and directing partnership with directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans.

Maggie Kang expressed pride in the global response to the story. "As a Korean filmmaker, I feel proud that people want to see more stories and characters from Korea," she said. "There is still so much more to show in the world we created. This is only the beginning."

Chris Appelhans also shared his enthusiasm for continuing the story. He described the characters as "family" and said their world has become a "second home." He added that expanding the universe where music, animation, and storytelling intersect is an exciting opportunity.

Sequel Targeting 2029 Release

KPop Demon Hunters 2 is currently in the early stages of production. The sequel is reportedly targeting a release around 2029.

The original KPop Demon Hunters set major milestones for Netflix content. Last month, the project won the Best Song Written for Visual Media award at the Grammy Awards, becoming the first K-pop-related project to receive a Grammy.

The film is also competing at the Academy Awards with nominations for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. The 98th Academy Awards ceremony will take place on March 15 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
