The Singing Voices Behind Netflix’s Biggest Movie Pitch Their Dream Sequel Ideas

Netflix just scored its biggest movie ever with KPop Demon Hunters, and the singers behind those chart-topping heroines are already daydreaming out loud about where to take round two. The sequel is coming, the ideas are big, and yes, the timeline is a long one.

Here are the basics: after becoming Netflix's most-watched movie, pulling in over 325 million views, landing a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score, and nabbing three Grammy nominations, KPop Demon Hunters 2 is officially set for 2029 from Sony and Netflix, per Deadline. The first film, directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, followed three pop idols who moonlight as demon slayers. Singers EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami voice the trio Rumi, Mira, and Zoey. In a chat with Collider, they laid out what they want from the sequel, which is still locked up on the official details front.

What the singers want in KPop Demon Hunters 2

• EJAE (Rumi): wants the sequel to lean deeper into Korean culture, from traditional history and music to food. Think bigger emphasis on heritage, not just vibes.
• Audrey Nuna (Mira): wants the girls out in the world, popping up in different cities and showing how the group plays globally. The movie blew up worldwide, and she loves how the success has blurred the line between a fictional pop group and real-world fandom.
• Rei Ami (Zoey): either give us an origin story about how the trio formed or bring back Gwi-ma, the big bad voiced by Lee Byung-hun. She is also very curious who the next main villain might be.

"I want to see the girls in different cities. I want to see what they bring globally."

Ambitious? Definitely. Unrealistic? Probably not after numbers like that. The plan, as teased, is to keep following HUNTR/X's pop-warrior trio as their world expands beyond Seoul. The actors' wish list points to a sequel that is wider in scope, with a heavier cultural backbone and an eye on how the franchise plays outside Korea. Also, if they do spin the clock back for an origin story, that sets up an easy way to revisit fan-favorite characters without breaking the current timeline.

For the record: the release year comes via Deadline, and the cast shared these ideas with Collider. The whole wave of sequel chatter first bubbled up through a report by Anubhav Chaudhry at SuperHeroHype. Either way, the takeaway is simple: KPop Demon Hunters 2 is on the way, and if the creative team runs with even half of what the singers are pitching, expect something bigger, louder, and very global.
