Netflix’s most popular film ever continues to be golden. Deadline reports that the streamer has announced plans to launch a KPop Demon Hunters world tour.
What the new live experience will entail and participating cities have yet to be revealed, but eager fans can now sign up to join the waitlist for details.
Expect on-sale ticketing info, dates, and more to arrive later this year.
In the film, “Korean pop superstars Rumi, Mira, and Zoey use their secret identities as demon hunters to protect their fans from ever-present supernatural danger. Together, they must face their biggest threat — an irresistible rival boy band of demons in disguise.“
Since its release last summer on Netflix, KPop Demon Hunters and its central group, HUNTR/X, have become a global sensation. And its popularity only continues to rise.
A sequel was officially greenlit earlier this year. Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans will return to direct and write the followup, kicking off the duo’s exclusive multi-year deal with Netflix across animation.
More notably, KPop Demon Hunters made Oscar history for the streamer, earning the awards for Best Original Song and Best Animated Feature.
KPop Demon Hunters has also conquered McDonald’s and will take on Shark Week next.
“With KPop Demon Hunters, Maggie and Chris didn’t just reach audiences, they ignited a global fandom that crossed languages, generations, and genres,” Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria said. “We’re incredibly proud to deepen our partnership with them and, together with our partners at Sony Pictures Animation, build this universe in ways that will surprise and delight fans all over the world.”
KPop Demon Hunters is officially unstoppable. Get ready to see HUNTR/X strengthen the Honmoon in person soon.
