It’s hard to believe, but just one year ago, HUNTR/X took the stage and changed the world forever. Throughout that whole year, KPop Demon Hunters hasn’t left the spotlight. It has officially spent 52 consecutive weeks in Netflix’s Global Top 10, beating the previous record of 20 weeks held by Extraordinary Attorney Woo. The animated musical film is Netflix’s most-watched title ever, and on track to be its biggest franchise ever.
The timing is perfect. On June 20, KPop Demon Hunters will officially celebrate its one-year anniversary, and we’re kicking off the party early. Fans will have new ways to return to the world of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, with special anniversary screenings and more surprises rolling out throughout the week.
Since its debut, KPop Demon Hunters has become more than a movie. It’s gone on to win two Academy Awards and has grown into a fan-fueled phenomenon, powered by the songs, style, action, and heart that made viewers fall for HUNTR/X, the pop-superstar trio secretly protecting humanity from demonic forces between performances.
Now, as the official anniversary approaches, events, activations, and merch drops will bring fans even closer to the world of HUNTR/X.
The festivities begin with special anniversary screenings around the world, including theatrical presentations, outdoor community screenings, and sing-along events where fans can experience the music and magic together. Netflix House locations will also join the celebration, with screenings in Philadelphia all week and a day full of fan activities on June 20 in both locations.
And there’s plenty more to come. Check back here, because throughout the week, Netflix will unveil additional anniversary updates, releases, events, and ways for fans to celebrate as KPop Demon Hunters officially turns a year old on June 20.
