The KPop Demon Hunters 2 streaming release date has now become a major topic of discussion following the release of the first film. The original movie premiered on Netflix on June 20, 2025. It was helmed by Maggie Kang, who co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Appelhans, Danya Jimenez, and Hannah McMechan.
So, when is KPop Demon Hunters 2 coming out? Here’s what we know.
What is the KPop Demon Hunters 2 release date estimate?
KPop Demon Hunters 2’s streaming release date estimate is 2027 or 2028 at the earliest. This is based on the pattern followed by Netflix original films that have received sequels.
Neither Netflix nor Sony Pictures Animation has officially confirmed a KPop Demon Hunters 2 as of this writing, let alone its release date. However, the streamer has traditionally seen its original films’ sequels hit the platform three to four years later. For instance, Chris Hemsworth’s Extraction was released in 2020, followed by its sequel in 2023. In addition, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston’s Murder Mystery came out in 2019, while its sequel came out in 2023.
Thus, if KPop Demon Hunters 2 follows the pattern established by the aforementioned films, then its 2027 or 2028 release date is all the more likely. Alternatively, the film could come out much later.
Although a sequel hasn’t been confirmed, director Maggie Kang has expressed interest in making one in a Variety interview. She shared her enthusiasm for potentially exploring Zoey and Mira’s upbringings, noting that she and the filmmakers have “set up so much for potential backstory.”
“Obviously, there’s a lot of questions that are left unanswered and areas that are not explored, and we had to do that because there’s only so much movie you could tell in 85 minutes,” she added.
