Just before the Oscars, Netflix announced a sequel to KPop Demon Hunters, and signed creators Kang and Appelhans to a multi-year deal to write and direct it. They plan to take the story in exciting new directions for the main characters – Rumi (voiced by Arden Cho), Mira (voiced by May Hong), and Zoey (voiced by Ji-young Yoo) – and aim to release the sequel in 2029, mirroring the original’s demanding production schedule. While KPop Demon Hunters 2 is still a few years away, many other highly anticipated animated sequels are planned between now and then, including the return of long-dormant franchises and continuations of stories fans have waited years to see resolved.
