HUNTR/X isn’t done protecting the world from demons just yet. A KPop Demon Hunters sequel is officially in the works after directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans inked a multi-year writing and directing pact with Netflix. The first movie was Netflix’s most popular movie of all time, with more than 325 million views. No date for the sequel has been set. The Hollywood Reporter said that previous speculation of a 2029 release appeared unlikely, given how long it takes to produce an animated film. The movie is a favorite to win best animated feature and best original song—for the hit Golden—at the Oscars. “I feel immense pride as a Korean filmmaker that the audience wants more from this Korean story and our Korean characters. There’s so much more to this world we have built and I’m excited to show you. This is only the beginning,” Kang said in a statement, with Applehans adding that the film’s characters “are like family to us.” Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s chief content officer, said the directors “ignited a global fandom that crossed languages, generations, and genres.”
