KPop Demon Hunters is turning a year old in just a few weeks. Where has the time gone?
To celebrate the anniversary of the animation sensation's streaming release, Netflix is organizing global screenings and more ways for fans to celebrate.
Netflix promises "events, activations, and merch drops" in the lead-up to June 20. There are also theatrical releases in the U.S., U.K. and Ireland, South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Israel.
Among those, there will be free outdoor screenings in New York, San Francisco, Atlanta, and a handful of other locations listed on Netflix's Tudum site.
To say KPop Demon Hunters was a worldwide phenomenon upon its release would be doing it a disservice.
The story of girl band HUNTR/X's fight against demons became Netflix's most-watched movie by the end of 2025, clocking up over 500 million views in the process.
After capturing the world's attention, it captured that of the Academy, picking up the Oscars for Best Original Song with 'Golden' and Best Animated Feature.
KPop Demon Hunters 2 has also been announced, but it's not expected to arrive until 2029.
A new McDonald's short managed to whet our appetite for more HUNTR/X bangers, but we'll have years to wait for a sequel, per Bloomberg.
That's not very Golden now, is it? Still, at least we have a KPop birthday party to attend very soon.
