Netflix’s Best Animated Movie This Year Could Be Getting a Sequel

by

In the month following its premiere, an animated feature film on Netflix has gained considerable popularity and is showing strong potential for a sequel based on viewer enthusiasm. Interestingly, Netflix has been successful with Korean media beyond just hit K-dramas like “Squid Game,” as they’ve also seen success with original Korean films. Remarkably, this trend has extended to the realm of music as well, with the new series “KPop Demon Hunters” garnering a large fanbase since its summer debut.

The K-pop themed animated series “Demon Hunters” debuted on Netflix last month, and it has since held the number one spot in both the US and international markets. With its viewership continuing to rise, there’s a strong possibility that it could become the most watched original animated work ever released on the streaming platform. Given the actors involved have openly expressed their desire for a sequel, it seems increasingly likely that we might see another installment of “Demon Hunters.” The series is performing so well on Netflix that it’s hard to imagine it as a one-off production.

KPop Demon Hunters Is Taking Over the World

Currently, “KPop Demon Hunters” maintains its position at the top of the U.S. Top Movies chart on Netflix, an impressive feat four weeks following its premiere. A recent report from What’s on Netflix shows that the movie has garnered over 80.3 million views so far, growing at such a rapid pace that it might soon surpass the most-watched animated film on Netflix, “Leo.” Additionally, it’s worth noting that this movie is also making waves in actual music charts worldwide.

As a die-hard fan of “KPop Demon Hunters”, I’m thrilled to share that their soundtrack has been making waves globally, topping the Billboard charts! Among these hits, the enchanting track “Golden” has truly left an indelible mark, reaching number one positions worldwide. This is a historic achievement for many K-pop groups and marks the first time in years that a fictional group has scaled such heights. Intriguingly, Netflix has taken the unprecedented step of submitting this original song for awards consideration! Now, we’re on the edge of our seats, eagerly awaiting the release of the long-anticipated sequel to grace our screens and continue the captivating musical journey that “KPop Demon Hunters” has started.

KPop Demon Hunters Star Sparks Hopes for a Sequel

A sequel for “KPop Demon Hunters” seems highly probable, given its impressive performance on Netflix and chart-topping soundtrack. However, at this point, no sequel has been officially announced. Maggie Kang, the show’s creator, mentioned that it took nearly a decade to bring the original series to life, suggesting that a follow-up might require similar time. The enthusiasm of fans, who are eagerly anticipating more storylines due to the unfinished narrative and the ongoing popularity of the soundtrack among K-pop artists, underscores this demand.

As an ardent fan myself, I can’t help but join the chorus of enthusiasm for a potential sequel to “KPop Demon Hunters.” The talented Arden Cho, who brings Rumi to life in the film, has expressed her hopes on social media too, imploring Netflix with the hashtag “#1 until Netflix confirms a sequel? pretty please [Netflix].” With one of the stars joining forces with us fans, it seems that maybe, just maybe, we’ll get a second installment. While we wait for any news, I’m sure we’ll all be enjoying the first one to the fullest!
