KPop Demon Hunters’ Netflix Viewership Could Be Great News for Part 2

It’s been drawing a huge crowd on Netflix lately: the new animated series KPop Demon Hunters. There’s been a lot of buzz about whether or not there will be a sequel, given its impressive viewership numbers. Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, it debuted on Netflix on June 20, 2025, and has since sparked a strong reaction from viewers, as suggested by the increasing number of people tuning in.

KPop Demon Hunters’ promising Netflix viewership numbers could help fast-track sequel

Based on the current trends, it appears that the KPop Demon Hunters animated movie could surpass all other original films on Netflix to hold the record for the most viewed.

As reported by What’s on Netflix, the film has amassed an impressive 80.3 million views on their streaming service, poised to outshine movies like “Leo” and “The Sea Beast” in terms of viewer numbers.

Although KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix has been successful, neither Netflix nor Sony Pictures Animation has provided any news about a possible second installment of the film. However, Maggie Kang, one of the creators, has expressed enthusiasm for a KPop Demon Hunters sequel, hinting in a recent interview that they have been developing the characters to provide ample groundwork for potential backstories.

As a gamer eagerly awaiting the next installment of KPop Demon Hunters, I can’t help but notice that Kang has dropped another hint. He mentioned, “It’s clear there are many questions left unanswered and parts of the story unexplored, and we had to do this since there’s a limit to what a 85-minute movie can cover.

The popularity of KPop Demon Hunters’ series is significantly influenced by its captivating soundtrack, which recently climbed to the second spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Notably, the song “Golden” from the album has become an exceptional hit, topping both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. US charts, making it the standout single from the album.

As a gamer, I’ve been keeping an eye on the music charts, and it looks like “Your Idol” and “Soda Pop” are really hitting the right notes with the audience! They’ve managed to secure third and sixth spots on the Billboard Global 200, respectively. (Source: The Express Tribune)
