  • Netflix says the film has passed 670 million views and has spent 67 weeks on its Global Top 10.
  • A sequel is confirmed, with directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans returning; the November 5 announcement gives no release date.
  • The announcement does not say where the hub sits in the app or whether every plan gets all of it.

Netflix opened a new section of its service on Thursday, November 5, built around its animated hit KPop Demon Hunters. Called KPop Demon Hunters: For the Fans!, it gathers the film, the sing-along version and bonus videos in one place and adds new material, including stop-motion series and official choreography lessons. Netflix calls it a “first-of-its-kind” destination on the service. This guide sets out what is in it, where the film stands and what the announcement leaves open.

What is in the hub

Netflix’s announcement divides the hub into four groups. It marks the first two as new.

The dance section is the most specific part of the list. Netflix says it covers “How It’s Done,” “Golden,” “Takedown,” “Soda Pop” and “Your Idol,” taught by the film’s choreographers. A separate segment has the choreographers Nain and Leejung Lee explaining how the personalities of Rumi, Mira and Zoey shape the way each one moves. Netflix says new animation of HUNTR/X and popular dance creators also appear in these videos.

Where the film stands

Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans directed KPop Demon Hunters, which Netflix released on June 20, 2025. Its cast, as Sony Pictures Animation’s page for the film lists it, includes Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Yunjin Kim, Joel Kim Booster, Liza Koshy, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong and Byung Hun Lee. Netflix’s November 5 announcement calls it the service’s most popular film of all time, with more than 670 million views.

The figures in the announcement need a little care. It gives 67 weeks on Netflix’s Global Top 10 in one place and 63 consecutive weeks in another. Those read as a total and an unbroken run, though Netflix does not spell that out.

The view count has a much lower earlier version, too. On October 21, 2025, Netflix gave more than 325 million views “over 91 days,” and its shareholder letter that day said a title’s views are based on its first 91 days. Its anniversary post of June 18, 2026, then gave more than 600 million views “since its June 20, 2025 debut.” The November announcement does not say what period its 670 million covers. It is about twice the 91-day number, but by our reading it is the running total since release, not a like-for-like rise.

The awards are easier to check. The Academy’s page for the 98th Oscars lists KPop Demon Hunters as the winner of Animated Feature Film and its song “Golden” as the winner of Original Song. Netflix adds wins at the Critics Choice Awards and the Golden Globes and ten Annie Awards, and says “Golden” was the first K-pop song to take both an Oscar and a Grammy.

On the charts, Netflix says the soundtrack was the first to hold four places in the Billboard Hot 100 top ten at once, and that it has passed 15 billion streams worldwide. It says “Golden” spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and has been certified 5x Platinum.

The sing-along, from theaters to the hub

The sing-along in the hub began as a theater event. On Netflix’s October 21, 2025, earnings call, co-chief executive Ted Sarandos said sing-along screenings came eight weeks after the film’s Netflix premiere, and that they would return on Halloween weekend with every major theater chain taking part. The November 5 announcement lists the sing-along version among what the hub brings together, not among its new additions, so the hub collects it rather than introducing it.

What comes next

A sequel is on the way. Netflix’s Tudum site confirmed it on March 12, 2026, with Kang and Appelhans returning as directors. The November 5 announcement does not mention the sequel at all, so it gives no release date. Netflix describes the first film as produced in partnership with Sony Pictures Animation.

What the announcement does not say about the hub

The announcement is tagged “Global,” but it does not say where the hub sits in the Netflix app, which devices show it, or how long the new videos run. It also does not say whether every plan gets everything in it. Netflix’s cheapest tier, Standard with ads, does not include every title, as our plan comparison explains, with prices checked in late October.
