Netflix to Host Global Tour for Oscar-Winning ‘K-POP Demon Hunters’

Netflix and AEG Presents are organizing a global tour for the Oscar-winning animated film “K-POP Demon Hunters,” which secured two Academy Awards. Netflix made the official announcement at the Upfront event in New York on the 13th (U.S. time).

This tour is designed as a “live experience that brings elements of the film to life in amazing ways” and is set to begin this summer. Amy Linhard, Netflix’s head of advertising, emphasized, “No other work has captured global attention like ‘K-POP Demon Hunters.’ This will give fans the chance to experience their favorite characters and music up close.”

“K-POP Demon Hunters” won both the Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song awards at the 2026 Academy Awards. Since its release on June 20 of last year, it has set worldwide records. It accumulated 325.1 million views in its first 91 days and reached 482 million views within six months, solidifying its position as Netflix’s most-watched film ever.

The film’s theme song, “Golden,” has won major international awards including the Oscar, Grammy, and Golden Globe. Notably, it became the first K-Pop track to receive a Grammy Award. It has remained in the top 10 most-watched English-language films among Netflix users globally for 47 consecutive weeks since its release.

Bella Vazaria, Netflix’s content officer, said, “Directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans didn’t just attract audiences; they created a global fandom that transcends language, generation, and genre. We will deepen our partnership with them and expand this universe in new ways alongside Sony Pictures Animation to surprise fans.”

The cities where the tour will take place, specific dates, and ticket sales schedules are expected to be announced later this year. Fans can register for a waitlist on the official website to receive updates.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that Netflix is already working on a sequel to “K-POP Demon Hunters.” Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans will once again direct the film, with Sony Pictures Animation handling production, just as in the original version.
