Will Our Favorite Demon Hunters Return for More Action on Netflix?

Hey, K-Pop and animation fans! Remember back in June 2025 when a little animated film called KPop Demon Hunters dropped on Netflix and pretty much took over our lives? Yeah, we do too! This movie became a total smash hit, surprising everyone by becoming Netflix's most-watched original title, racking up over 325 million views in just 91 days. Pretty wild, right?

With that kind of success, it’s no surprise that everyone's buzzing about a sequel. And guess what? The amazing talent behind the music for the film, specifically Rei Ami, the singing voice for the fierce character Zoey, recently gave us a little tease at none other than Heidi Klum's legendary Halloween party!

When asked about the possibility of a second installment, Rei Ami told E! News that she's "waiting for the call, just like you! You're gonna find out when I do, so we'll chat then." So, while it's not a definitive "yes" from the powers that be at Netflix or Sony Pictures Animation, it's pretty clear the conversation is happening. In fact, reports confirm that a sequel is indeed "in the works," even if it hasn't officially gotten the green light as of November 2025.

Slaying the Red Carpet: Rei Ami and EJAE's Spot-On KPop Demon Hunters Costumes

Before diving deeper into sequel talks, let's talk about how Rei Ami delivered this news: in full character! She attended Heidi Klum's 24th Annual Halloween Party on October 31, 2025, held at the swanky Hard Rock Hotel in New York City, decked out as Zoey herself. Talk about dedication!

Rei Ami absolutely nailed Zoey's first look from the film – you know, the one with the patchwork parachute pants as she's jumping out of a plane? She rocked it with incredible attention to detail, from the symbolic sea turtle and hibiscus (South Korea's national flower) embroidered onto her outfit, right down to Zoey's magical throwing knives, the "shin-kal," complemented by a fierce manicure. She even shared that it only took her "like three hours" to get ready, adding, "It wasn't bad." But she did give a shout-out to her tailor, who she admitted she "really put through it," sending measurements a week prior and getting the final fitting just hours before the party, all coming together in a 36-hour sprint. Talk about a Halloween hero!

And Rei Ami wasn't alone in representing! EJAE, who co-wrote the chart-topping song "Golden" and other tracks from the movie, also showed up channeling her inner KPop Demon Hunters. She dressed as Derpy, the adorable blue supernatural tiger who accompanies the main characters. How cool is it to see the musical talent celebrating the characters they helped bring to life?

Heidi Klum's Legendary Halloween Bash: A Star-Studded Extravaganza

Of course, it wouldn't be Heidi Klum's Halloween party without some seriously jaw-dropping costumes. While Rei Ami and EJAE were busy repping KPop Demon Hunters, Heidi herself stole the show with a truly petrifying transformation. She spent about 10 hours becoming Medusa, the powerful monster from Greek mythology, complete with green scales and squirming snakes. Her husband, Tom Kaulitz, perfectly complemented her look as a man turned to stone – a victim of Medusa's gaze!

The event, presented by Butterfinger and Huluween, also saw a parade of other celebrities in their Halloween best. While we don't have all the details on their specific costumes, the guest list included names like Ariana Madix, Remi Bader, Ilona Maher, Alexis Ren, Coco Austin & Ice-T, Mia Swier & Darren Criss, Coco Jones, Gigi Gorgeous, Amaya "Papaya" Espinal, Mariah Strongin, Ari Chambers, Kelly Bensimon, Heidi Wong, Amir Arison, Famke Janssen, Kate Barton & Kelsey Anderson, Vivien Blotzki, Sofie Dossi, Anna Ermakova, Oliver Tarquin Gruber, Tamron Hall, Jett Puckett & Campbell Puckett, Valentina Sampaio, Rebecca Mir & Massimo Sinato, Jonathan Cheban, and Damian Hurley. It sounds like quite the party!

The Unprecedented Success and Cultural Impact of KPop Demon Hunters

It's clear that KPop Demon Hunters isn't just another animated film; it's a "cultural phenomenon," as Rei Ami put it. She shared her awe at the movie's success:

"Oh my god, it's everywhere, I can't get a break from it. And I'm not complaining, please!"

"I'm so honored and in awe, and just truly humbled by the power of music and good art and how it can really, truly—it sounds so cliché—change the world. That's exactly what this film and this soundtrack did, and it brought so much hope and light into such a dim, grim world, and I feel really privileged to be a part of it."

— Rei Ami, speaking to E! News

The film's impact wasn't just on views. Its original soundtrack, featuring Rei Ami, EJAE, and Audrey Nuna as the fictional group HUNTR/X, achieved incredible success, matching records set by global superstars like Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles. The trio even made a surprise appearance on the opening episode of Saturday Night Live Season 51, performing their chart-topping hit "Golden." They were also presented with a platinum record for "Golden" earlier in October 2025.

The movie itself boasts an impressive 95% on Rotten Tomatoes and a runtime of 1 hour and 36 minutes, proving that its blend of music, action, and fantasy truly resonated with audiences worldwide. The voice cast includes a lineup of incredible talent: Arden Cho, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Ahn Hyo-seop, Yunjin Kim, Joel Kim Booster, Daniel Dae Kim, and Ken Jeong, among others.

Hilarious Behind-the-Scenes Secrets: "Objectify the Crap Out of These Guys"

To add to the fun, director Maggie Kang and the creative team shared some awesome behind-the-scenes stories at a sold-out panel at the Animation Is Film Festival in Los Angeles. Kang revealed a particularly hilarious note she received from Sony Animation President Kristine Belson regarding the film's handsome boy band, the Saja Boys.

Kang recounted, "I've been waiting to talk about this scene for so long. When this movie was first pitched, Kristine Belson, the president of Sony Animation, said, 'Let's objectify the crap out of these guys.' Finally! So that was kind of our goal: to make really thirsty girls."

Production designer Helen Mingjue Chen even chimed in with another tidbit: at one point, they debated whether the Saja Boys should wear mesh crop tops! The question was, as Chen put it, "we wanted to see his nipple or not." These anecdotes just show how much fun the team had making the movie and how much thought went into creating characters that would capture hearts and make audiences laugh.

The Future of KPop Demon Hunters: Patience is a Virtue for Fans

So, where does this leave us with the sequel? While Rei Ami's comments and other reports confirm that a follow-up is being discussed and is "in the works," it's crucial to remember that it hasn't received official confirmation from Netflix or Sony Pictures Animation. Fans will need to channel their inner Zoey and practice a bit of patience.

For now, we can all rewatch the original, stream the phenomenal soundtrack, and keep our fingers crossed for that "call" that Rei Ami and all of us are waiting for. The film undoubtedly brought "hope and light into such a dim, grim world," and we'd love to see what new adventures the HUNTR/X team could get into next!
