Coming from Sony Pictures Animation, KPop Demon Hunters arrived on Netflix on June 20, 2025. It earned massive praise from the fans worldwide, who eventually called it a ‘perfect piece of entertainment’. No wonder the film became one of the most-watched animated titles on the platform and got a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Now that fans are hungry for the KPop Demon Hunters sequel, here’s everything we know about it so far.
What Is the KPop Demon Hunters 2 Release Date?
An early report by Variety stated that the anticipated Kpop Demon Hunters 2 will be released sometime in 2029. However, in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the presidents of Sony Pictures Animation clearly revealed that the sequel’s release will go beyond 2029. Well, it makes sense because the first film entered production in 2021 and didn’t hit the screens until 2025.
Who Could Be There in KPop Demon Hunters Sequel?
Kpop Demon Hunters has officially entered the production stage, with Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation as collaborators. Also, following the massive success of the first film, Maggie Kang is indeed returning to carry the legacy forward in the sequel. Besides her, the core cast who contributed heavily to the accomplishment of the 2025 film are also likely returning for the sequel. The list includes Arden Cho as Rumi, May Hong as Mira, Ji-young Yoo as Zoey, Ken Jeong as Bobby, Yunjin Kim as Celine, Ahn Hyo-seop as Jinu, and Lee Byung-hun as Gwi-Ma. Apart from them, we may learn about new additions as the months pass.
What Could Be the Plot of KPop Demon Hunters 2?
The first film reveals Rumi’s half-demon identity, but it does not explain how her mother, a demon hunter, fell in love with a demon. So, the sequel might explore their backstory and reveal more about Rumi’s heritage. Rumi may experience inner turmoil as she balances her human and demon sides. There are also chances that we can see her struggle to control her demonic powers.
Also, as the Honmoon is still blue, demons can still enter the Earth without being detected. Gwi-Ma can also return in the sequel project with the help of the surviving Saja Boys members.
“Obviously, there are a lot of questions that are left unanswered and areas that are not explored. We had to do that because there’s only so much movie you can tell in 85 minutes.” – Maggie Kang
