It just wasn\u2019t the movie for those stories.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n        <\/figure>\n        \n<h2>More films may follow if the franchise keeps growing<\/h2>\n<p>As of March, 2026, Netflix has only confirmed one sequel, but comments from the creative team suggest this may not be the end. On July 31, 2025, The Wrap reported that Netflix was considering a larger expansion of the KPop Demon Hunters franchise, including a possible trilogy and other related projects like a stage musical. However, the company does not seem to be interested in a live-action remake at the time.<\/p>\n<p>As for a potential release date for the second installment, animation usually takes several years to complete because of the work involved in each frame. According to Variety, Netflix is currently aiming for a 2029 premiere for the KPop Demon Hunters sequel, although that timing could still change as production develops, and a different date could always be announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix officially orders the sequel to the hit film Netflix officially confirmed a sequel to KPop Demon Hunters on March 12, 2026.
