K-pop Demon Hunters made its global debut on Netflix on June 20, 2025, and it didn¡¯t take long to grab the spotlight. Brought to life by Sony Pictures Animation and directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, the animated musical fantasy has managed to wow global fans, thanks to its bold mix of K-pop energy, demon-slaying action, and eye-popping visuals that feel like a concert-meets-battlefield dreams come true.?
The animated action film featuring a fierce girl group battling demons by night and performing on stage by day has become a pop culture moment that¡¯s impossible to ignore. And now, just days after its release, fans are already asking, Will there be a sequel? Let's explore.
The film follows Huntrix, a chart-topping K-pop girl group made up of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, who aren't just idols but also undercover demon hunters. When the lights go down and the encore ends, these girls swap their microphones for magical weapons, facing off against their biggest threat yet: the Saja Boys, a rival boy band possessed by demons. Their sinister plan is to drain fan energy during concerts to shatter the Honmoon, a mystical barrier that keeps the demon realm sealed away. In this universe, music is more than performance. Each song fuels their combat, turning high-stakes battles into electrifying stage shows where every note could mean survival.
The climactic moments of K?pop Demon Hunters hinge on a major twist that Rumi is revealed to be half-demon, a truth she¡¯s hidden her whole life. As the daughter of a fallen demon hunter and an unnamed demon father, Rumi has lived with shame and fear over this side of herself.
Her adoptive mother, Celine, has long helped her suppress that identity, hoping that completing the Honmoon barrier would rid her of it altogether. But during the final battle, when Gwi?Ma¡¯s trance threatens to overwhelm the city, Rumi fully embraces both her human and demonic sides. Her emotional arc, centred on self-acceptance, proves to be her greatest weapon.
In a moving moment, she sings a new original song that speaks directly to her inner conflict, disrupting Gwi-Ma¡¯s hold over the city and empowering Mira and Zoey to join her in battle. Jinu, the Saja Boys¡¯ leader and a former human turned demon, sacrifices himself to protect Rumi, adding emotional weight to the climax. In the end, Huntrix defeats Gwi?Ma and restores the Honmoon, but Rumi¡¯s identity journey remains unresolved, setting up the potential for future stories that dive deeper into her origins and the mystery surrounding her parents.
The movie ends with a finale that many viewers say feels more like a setup than a conclusion. One person said on X, "Hear me out: this is just the beginning, and this is a setup for more, and we get to see more about their backgrounds and the lore. Trust me, we will get either a sequel or two OR a series. Although it may take a while getting songs as high quality as the movie."
?Another user said, "They¡¯re definitely setting up for a sequel because the honeymoon didn¡¯t turn gold by the end of it, and Celine still hadn¡¯t accepted Rumi; therefore, Jinu is still alive. Stay with me now."
"I just watched K-pop Demon Hunters and it was amazing, I need a sequel or the whole ahh trilogy," a third fan added.
?"You know what we need for that sequel? More of Celine and Rumi. Their plot was unfinished, I need Celine to fully accept who she is," a fourth user mentioned.
?Whether it's a sequel, spin-off, or even a live-action version, fans believe K-pop Demon Hunters is far from over. With its bold visuals, fun story, and strong fanbase, it feels like just the beginning.
