KPop Demon Hunters 2 is officially on its way, with Netflix closing deals with the animated hits directors, Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, and Sony for the sequel, sources confirm to The Hollywood Reporter. Talent deals are still being finalized, however.

Bloomberg, which first reported the news, suggests the sequel will arrive in 2029 not a surprising timeline given the length between other animated films like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, released in 2018, and its sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, released in 2023. Sony and Netflix declined to comment.

KPop Demon Hunters has become Netflixs most popular title ever. The project chronicles the adventures of Huntrix, a K-pop girl group comprising three members who just happen to also fight monsters from the underworld. In addition to topping the Netflix charts, its soundtrack has spent several weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart.THRfirst broke the news in August that asequel film is in talksat Netflix and Sony Animation.

The film has now had two theatrical release stints for the sing-along version film. It most recently returned to theaters this past Halloween weekend in AMC, Regal and Cinemark theaters across the country, along with several chains around the world. The sing-along film was previously in theaters for a weekend in August, purportedly raking in $17 million to $18 million at the box office. (Netflix did not report its grosses.)

The singers behind Huntrix Ejae, Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna have been busy ahead of the upcoming award season, where the film is favored as the frontrunner in both animated feature and original song. The trio have been taking their chart-topping song on the road for live performances on Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. It was announced earlier this week that the women of Huntrix would be performing in the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade.
