Negotiations on the continuation of KPop Demon Hunters have begun

  • KPop Demon Hunters has become the most popular film on Netflix.
  • Negotiations for a sequel are ongoing between Sony and Netflix.
  • Director Maggi Kang may return to work on the sequel.

Negotiations are taking place regarding the creation of a sequel to the popular animated film KPop Demon Hunters. This film, directed by Maggi Kang and Chris Applehans, has become the most popular film on Netflix with over 236 million views.

The film, which also had a short trailer in theaters, grossed nearly $19.2 million upon release. While the details of the sequel have not yet been confirmed, it is expected that Kang will return to the director's chair. She indicated that the sequel could center around other characters, such as Zoe or Mira.

The complex commercial partnership between Sony and Netflix, which distributed the film, has created some difficulties in the negotiations. Sony received a cut of $20 million from the sales of KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix, and now both sides are working to agree on terms for the continuation.
