The production of Season 2 of 'K-Pop Demon Hunters,' which is causing a global syndrome, is becoming more tangible.
On the 26th (local time), U.S. entertainment media Variety and others reported that Netflix has begun negotiations with the production company Sony Pictures Studios to create Season 2 of 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' (abbreviated as 'KDH').
'KDH' is an action fantasy animated film that features the members of the K-Pop superstar girl group Huntix, Lumi, Mira, and Joy, as hidden heroes who protect the glamorous world behind the stage. Directed by Maggie Kang, a Korean-American, it reinterprets Korean traditions and modern culture with a light touch, creating a global phenomenon.
Notably, 'KDH' surpassed a cumulative viewing figure of 236 million based on Netflix's official tracking site Tudum on the 27th, making it the most-watched movie on Netflix ever. During that time, the cumulative viewing hours reached 393 million hours, indicating its popularity.
In addition, the movie's OST 'Golden' is enjoying immense popularity, topping the Billboard Hot 100 main singles chart. Moreover, a special event format of 'KDH' sing-along screenings is being held in North American theaters, recording first place at the local box office, and still showing no signs of cooling down in popularity.
However, the specific production schedule for 'KDH' Season 2 has not been confirmed. Director Maggie Kang also stated cautiously during a recent interview with domestic reporters regarding the sequel's production, "Nothing has been finalized yet."
