Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans will return to direct. “This is only the beginning,” says Kang.
Don’t put away your light sticks. HUNTR/X may have earned a spa day after their record-shattering debut in KPop Demon Hunters became the most popular Netflix film of all time, lit up music charts worldwide, and earned two Oscar nominations. But Rumi, Mira, and Zoey can never stay on hiatus for long — not while their legions of fans are united in their chants for more.
The sequel to KPop Demon Hunters is coming your way, with Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans returning to direct. The follow-up film will be the first project out of Netflix’s exclusive multiyear writing and directing partnership with Kang and Appelhans across animation.
“I feel immense pride as a Korean filmmaker that the audience wants more from this Korean story and our Korean characters,” says Kang. “There’s so much more to this world we have built, and I’m excited to show you. This is only the beginning.”
Appelhans says, “These characters are like family to us, their world has become our second home. We’re excited to write their next chapter, challenge them, and watch them evolve — and continue pushing the boundaries of how music, animation, and story can come together.”
